Some of you may be questioning if you really need to maintain your practice license given how you spend your time. If you are retired or working in a position removed from pharmacy practice with no intention of ever practicing again, but wish to stay connected with the profession you contributed to for many years, you may be interested in the College’s Member Emeritus Roll. Standing Committees • Finance • Professional Practice Special Committees • Communications • Standards of Practice Working Group • Structured Practical Training • Task Force on Primary Health Care Reform • Working Group on Certification Examination for Pharmacy Technicians • Working Group on Pharmacy Technicians Members who voluntarily resign from the OCP Register after serving 25 years or more as a registered pharmacist, in any jurisdiction, and are in good standing, are entitled to become a Member Emeritus. On the Member Emeritus Roll, you have no practice privileges, you pay no fees, but you will continue to receive Pharmacy Connection and other select member notifications from the College. You will also receive a certificate indicating your status as a Member Emeritus with the College. If you meet the criteria for emeritus membership, please send a letter to the College noting that you wish to resign your active practice license and indicate that you wish to become a Member Emeritus.
