Does the College provide algorithms or continuing education to support minor ailment assessments?

The College does not develop clinical resources or continuing education. The only exceptions are two algorithms, tick bites and urinary tract infections, available on the minor ailments prescribing webpage. These were developed in collaboration with Public Health Ontario to support antimicrobial stewardship for these specific conditions.

Pharmacists are expected to draw on evidence from relevant sources to inform their activities and to critically evaluate medication and related information. Pharmacists may choose to use or subscribe to any clinical resources that support the delivery of safe and effective patient care.
