About the Exam

What is the PEBC Qualifying Examination Part II (OSCE)?

The PEBC Qualifying Examination Part II is a performance-based licensing exam administered by the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC). It assesses entry-to-practice competencies for pharmacists through a series of interactive and non-interactive stations — each designed to evaluate your ability to perform real pharmacy practice tasks under structured conditions.

Unlike multiple-choice exams, the PEBC OSCE tests not just what you know, but how you perform. Your ability to counsel a patient clearly, resolve a drug-therapy problem, screen a prescription for safety issues, and navigate an ethical dilemma — all under timed conditions — is what determines your result.

For internationally trained pharmacists (IPGs) seeking licensure in Canada, the PEBC OSCE is a critical milestone. Preparation requires deliberate practice with the station format, structured feedback on your communication and clinical reasoning, and confidence built through repetition. That is exactly what MedCognito’s course delivers.

Built for the PEBC OSCE.

Every element reflects what the PEBC OSCE actually tests and where internationally trained pharmacists typically lose marks — not a generic study resource.

Exam-focused feedback

Targeted feedback on communication structure, clinical reasoning, and OSCE pitfalls. You don’t just practise — you learn exactly what to fix and how to fix it.

Professional mentorship

Ebenezer Asare has trained over 200 IPGs through the PEBC pathway. He teaches from inside the profession, with genuine understanding of the international pharmacist journey in Canada.
