Hi Joanne,
Thank you for your feedback. You will see we have integrated this into the updated SR-459 ImmunizationHealthcareProviderOccupation-for PHSC Input.doc distributed via the Forum. It is proposed that both Pharmacy Intern and Pharmacy Student will require a new concept and description.
I'd like to provide feedback on the Vaccine Prescriber Role Type subset you put forward at the meeting last Thursday.
I disagree with the proposed equivalence of Pharmacy student with Trainee pharmacist. Trainee pharmacist is specific to the UK (and perhaps other jurisdictions) where pharmacy graduates undertake a foundation training year as a trainee pharmacist. This is more similar to a pharmacy intern so we could either consider linking these two instead or requesting CA-specific terms for both pharmacy intern and pharmacy student.
