What should I look for in the practice site of my coach?

Your coach’s practice site should: 

• Promote patient-centred care;
• Provide sufficient practice opportunities to meet the candidates learning action plan goals and address their competency gaps (e.g., suitably high prescription count, variety of patients);
• Be a positive environment with sufficient staffing conducive to teaching and learning; and 
• Have passed its recent pharmacy assessment and is entitled to operate in Ontario (see OCP’s Public Register). 

You are required to report your PACE development practice site in your OCP account as you should be performing the authorized acts of the profession to prepare for your next PACE attempt.
