Summary

This article provides descriptions and resources for the different types of evidence that should be provided for ANZCAP recognition via the Prior Professional Experience process.

Curriculum Vitae (CV)

Up to date CV which includes any job experience that demonstrates the criteria for Pharmacist Resident, Pharmacist Registrar or Pharmacist Consultant. Suggested inclusions are:

  • Job title(s) and number of years of experience as a registered pharmacist

  • Job title(s) and number of years of experience in a specialty area of practice

  • Professional organisation membership(s)

  • Contribution to professional committee(s) or recognition as a subject matter expert by external organisation(s)

  • Post graduate qualifications

  • Publications

 

If applicable to your recognition please include (in addition to your CV) any documents that show completion of workplace-based training programs.

These documents may be incorporated into your CV or uploaded as separate documents.

Letter of support

Depending on the level of recognition you meet, you may be asked to provide a letter of support from:

  • A pharmacy team leader

  • A representative of the pharmacy department leadership team or organisation leadership team

  • Current Director of Pharmacy/Chief Pharmacist/Pharmacy Owner (or equivalent)

  • Senior inter-professional colleague from your nominated specialty area

 

If you are self-employed or a sole practitioner, your letter of support can be provided by a suitably experienced pharmacy colleague who can attest to your experience.

If you are not employed by a pharmacy or pharmacy department, your letter of support should be provided by your line manager or equivalent person.

Ideally the inter-professional colleague you select is a senior medical colleague that you work with on a regular or long term basis e.g. Consultant or head of department. However, dependent on your area of specialty, other senior inter-professional colleagues (e.g. nursing, allied health) internal or external to your organization may be more appropriate.

This letter should provide a statement of support for your practice at your chosen ANZCAP recognition level. Suggested inclusions are:

  • Their name, job title and organisation

  • Nature and duration of your professional relationship

  • Statement of support that you are practicing at the chosen ANZCAP recognition level

  • Up to 1 page in length which contains their organisational letter head or that of their professional organisation
