FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PharmAchieve Launches Fully Updated Materials for the 2026 PEBC Syllabus on its New Website
Following the recent announcement of the new Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) blueprint for the May 2026 MCQ and OSCE exams, PharmAchieve is thrilled to welcome students to its newly updated website. As detailed in our recent video breakdown, MASSIVE PEBC Update: Biggest Blueprint Change in 11 Years!, this represents the most significant shift in pharmacy testing in over a decade.
We are proud to share that the materials needed to study for the 2026 PEBC syllabus were already available on the PharmAchieve MCQ and OSCE courses the exact same week the PEBC announced the new syllabus.
How Was This Possible?
Simply put this was the result of 2 years of preparation. The new PEBC syllabus is based on the NAPRA (National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities) competencies for entry-to-practice pharmacists.
Ever since those NAPRA competencies were released in 2024, PharmAchieve's dedicated team of licensed pharmacists, authors, and reviewers have been working tirelessly to build out the necessary study materials.
Because our experts anticipated that the PEBC blueprint would change shortly after the NAPRA update, we were ready to go from day one. In fact, no other course provider had these updated materials prepared and available at the time of the PEBC's release.
What is Covered in the New PharmAchieve 2026 Syllabus?
If you are preparing for the May 2026 exams, the PharmAchieve MCQ Course and Quesiton Bank and our OSCE training are already fully equipped to help you master the new testing focus. The updated material seamlessly integrates:
-
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI): New lectures and properly labeled practice questions covering Indigenous health, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) calls to action, and social determinants of health.
-
Expanded Clinical Scope: Extensive material on your expanded role in prescribing, deprescribing, and adaptation, which includes a version of a comprehensive prescribing/de-prescribing module developed in collaboration with the Ontario College of Pharmacists valued at $400, but included at no additional cost .
-
Pandemic Preparedness & Emergencies: Broadened situational training for dealing with both medical emergencies (like anaphylaxis), pandemics, environmental emergencies, fire, floods and thefts.
-
Electronic Health Records (EHR): Training that addresses the pharmacist's shift from being a "viewer" to an active "contributor" inputting data into provincial networks.
-
Major OSCE Shifts: Preparation for the new OSCE weighting, which places a massive 40% emphasis on Patient Care, reducing the weight of the communication competency to demand a much stronger clinical focus.
-
Removed Topics: De-emphasis on older topics you will no longer be tested on, such as staff supervision, organizational time management, and standalone master compounding formulas.
PharmAchieve remains dedicated to ensuring our students are always ahead of the curve.
