Pathways to Developing Clinical Pharmacist Practitioners: Is There a Better Way Forward? (Path-CPP).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clinical Pharmacist Practitioners (CPPs) are independent care providers who practise to their full scope and have a positive impact on the quality of patient care. Ideally, all pharmacists in Canada would perform at this level. However, there is significant diversity in pharmacy practice across the country and among practice settings. It would be valuable to better understand how pharmacists attain CPP-level practice and what strategies might enable more pharmacists to practise at this level.

Objectives

To understand the perceptions of current CPPs and stakeholders in the health care system regarding the status of the CPP role in Canada and to propose pathways that would facilitate the attainment and recognition of CPP-level practice.

Methods
