The Canadian Pharmacists Association (CPhA), previously known as the Canadian Pharmaceutical Association, is an organization that serves as the professional association of Canadian pharmacists and pharmacy students. It was founded in 1907 in Toronto, Ontario.[1] In 2014, CPhA adopted a new governance and membership model, most provincial pharmacy advocacy associations (PPAs) and select national pharmacist associations (NPAs) have become Organizational Members of CPhA. Their individual pharmacist and pharmacy student members are now CPhA Associates. The CPhA Board of Directors is made up of representatives appointed by each Organizational Member. The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the broad direction of the association.
In 1923, CPhA became the publisher of the Canadian Pharmacists Journal, which would go on to become Canada's oldest continuously published periodical. CPhA produces evidence-based drug and therapeutic resources for health care professionals in Canada. CPhA is also a leading provider of continuing professional development aimed at helping Canadian pharmacists practice to their full potential.
CPhA is funded in part by sponsorships from pharmaceutical companies including Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Teva Pharmaceuticals.[2]
CPhA's publishing department produces the following evidence-based drug and therapeutic resources:
