Pharmacists, interns, and pharmacy-technicians-in-training registered with the College of Pharmacists of Manitoba (CPhM), including domestically and internationally educated pharmacists, must complete the Pharmacy Jurisprudence Modules before they can write the Jurisprudence Examination (JP Exam).
Pharmacy Jurisprudence Modules
The modules are hosted by the University of Manitoba (UofM) Continuing Professional Development (CPD) website. The learning included in these modules will be reflected in the JP Exam and putting meaningful effort into completing the modules is critical to preparing for the exam.

Please note that the Pharmacy Jurisprudence Modules are intended to expose you to foundational themes in pharmacy practice and are not a comprehensive education on pharmacy law in Manitoba. Each registrant is expected and encouraged to carefully review the resources cited throughout the modules and reflect on the content. Please refer to the Jurisprudence Exam Study Material section for additional resources.
IMPORTANT: You must complete the Pharmacy Jurisprudence Modules before CPhM can schedule your exam and you can complete the modules at any time before you schedule your exam.
Jurisprudence Examination
The College of Pharmacists of Manitoba (CPhM) is transitioning to a new examination and proctoring platform with expected completion by end of November. Unfortunately, we cannot commit any specific dates right now until the transition is complete.
All eligible candidates for the Jurisprudence Examination (JP Exam) will be included in our list and will receive emails, from both CPhM and new provider, when exam registration officially begins.
You are eligible to take the Exam once:
- The Registrar or designate approves your registration application and supporting documents; and
- You have submitted proof of completing the Pharmacy Jurisprudence Modules
- Statement of Completion
- Confirmation of Registration Or Payment Receipt

In addition to completing the Pharmacy Jurisprudence Modules, you can use the supplementary JP Exam Study Material to prepare for the JP Exam. Please see the Jurisprudence Exam Blueprint for the domains and sub-domains included on the exam to help you prepare.
To prepare for the JP Exam, applicants should be knowledgeable and understand the application of all legislation, practice standards, guidelines, and joint statements relevant to the practice of pharmacy in the province of Manitoba.
