Year 1 Primary Care Residency

Frequently Asked Questions


Is your program accredited?

As our program is new, it is pending accreditation from the Canadian Pharmacy Residency Board. We anticipate to have our first graduate(s) in summer 2026 and to have an accreditation survey in fall/winter 2026.

Program accreditation is retroactive to prior program graduates and all successful graduates may use the Accredited Canadian Pharmacy Residency (ACPR) designation.

Is there a stipend for the Year 1 Primary Care Residency Program?

Yes, a stipend and benefits package will be provided. The stipend and benefits are identical to residents in the LMPS Year 1 Institutional Residency program. 

Is there a return-of-service agreement?

LMPS is pleased to offer a return-of-service agreement, the terms of which are identical to that offered by the LMPS Year 1 Institutional Residency program.

Signing the return-of-service agreement is entirely voluntary; residents can choose to accept the offer of residency training with our program without committing to the return of employment.

The return-of-service agreement applies to positions that are offered across LMPS. As such, residents do not need to choose a position specifically within primary or ambulatory care in LMPS to fulfil the terms of the contract, nor can a position within primary or ambulatory care be guaranteed to be available.
