The Jordan Pharmacy Licensure Pathway was launched by the Nova Scotia Pharmacy Regulator to help fill a growing need in the sector.

"This is more than just a regulatory licensure project; it’s a new, innovative approach to recruiting and retaining pharmacy professionals in Nova Scotia."

Jordan-trained pharmacists arrive in N.S. following international recruitment

The Jordan Pharmacy Licensure Pathway was launched by the Nova Scotia Pharmacy Regulator to help fill a growing need in the sector.

“We have a significant shortage of pharmacists in the province and pharmacies are struggling to have the staff they need to meet the needs of their patients,” said Beverley Zwicker, the regulator’s CEO and registrar.

Seventeen new health-care professionals are due to start work in Nova Scotia this week, after being recruited from Jordan through a new pharmacist licensure pilot program.
