The organization emphasizes indigenous cultural safety, cultural humility, and anti-racism, requiring annual education for pharmacy professionals in these areas. It has adopted practice standards developed with other health colleges and supports indigenous reconciliation efforts through initiatives such as the eyhh slaxin (good medicine) line and the collection of indigenous identity data. The College administers the continuous improvement, reporting, collaborating, and learning (CIRCL) program and the practice review program (PRP) to promote medication safety and ensure compliance with standards. Additional responsibilities include managing complaint procedures, professional liability insurance information, criminal record checks, and certification programs for pharmacists.
