NABP’s eLTP Now Available for Licensure Transfer to Nova Scotia
The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) is pleased to announce that the Nova Scotia College of Pharmacists (NSCP) is now utilizing the NABP Electronic Licensure Transfer Program (eLTP).
NSCP established a new, streamlined licensing pathway for international pharmacists to obtain licensure in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. NABP staff has been engaged with NSCP representatives and, as a result, NABP has revised the eLTP application to allow United States pharmacists to apply for licensure transfer to Nova Scotia.
In light of the fact that pharmacists licensed in Nova Scotia via this process may still maintain active licenses in a US state or jurisdiction, a data sharing and usage agreement has been signed between NSCP and NABP, which requires the same access and data usage terms applicable to US states and jurisdictions as well as requires NSCP to report any disciplinary actions imposed by their college on these US-trained pharmacists to the NABP Clearinghouse.
The eLTP will not be utilized for licensure transfer of Canadian pharmacists to a US state or jurisdiction outside of the established Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee certification process for foreign-trained pharmacists.
