Thetford Mines, Quebec – TheNewswire - December 10, 2019 – KDA Group Inc. (TSXV:KDA) (“KDA” or the “Corporation”) is proud to announce through its subsidiary AlliancePharma, the development of an education program for pharmacists and technicians about cannabis-based medical products.

In this context, health professionals, and in particular pharmacists, are increasingly solicited by clients to obtain reliable information about cannabis, medical or recreational use. In order to adequately meet the needs of their customers, Canadian pharmacists are looking for reliable, accessible, concrete and constantly updated training.

 

Canadian Pharmacy Market (1)

 

There are 42,707 pharmacists in Canada, including 27,646 in 10,708 community pharmacies. There are 2 official languages in Canada, which is reflected among pharmacists: in Quebec, the vast majority of pharmacists speak French, with 9,283 pharmacists, including 7,077 community pharmacists practicing in 1,911 pharmacies. The other 20,000 or so community pharmacists speak and work in English.

 

Training strategies

 

Given the working conditions of pharmacists and the extended opening hours of pharmacies, we prefer hybrid training strategies, i.e. combining several different training strategies that complement each other and increase the flexibility of learning.

In addition, in order to reach pharmacists across Canada, training should be available in both French and English.

 

  1. 1-Online training of the eLearning type: Interactive, with more theoretical elements and clinical scenarios. 

  2. 2-Live Webinars: Series of webinars prioritizing case studies to allow learners to integrate and apply the concepts learned through eLearning. 

  3. 3-Deferred Webinars: Make live recorded webinars available for later viewing. 

  4. 4-Practice Community: Create a practice community to allow interested pharmacists to interact with each other and with experts. 

 

"In this context, health professionals, and in particular pharmacists and technicians, will be increasingly solicited by clients to obtain reliable information about cannabis, medical or recreational use. This will position KDA as a leader in educational training for these health professionals," said Marc Lemieux, Chief Executive Officer of KDA.
