The Provincial Standardized Chemotherapy and Biotherapy course (PSCB) is delivered online and facilitated by advanced practice nurses/educators; the content is Canadian, up to date, and delivered with engaging and clinically relevant interactive activities and case studies.  Nurses can pace their study time independently and still be part of a supportive learning community.

PSCB reflects standards identified by a number of national and international bodies, including the Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology. This course also meets Cancer Care Ontario’s 2021 standards, which specify that Registered Nurses who administer parenteral chemotherapy are required to achieve systemic cancer treatment certification of competency including theoretical, clinical, and continuing competence requirements.

PSCB is offered six times a year (January, March, April, July, September and October) and includes a workshop which is a key component of the learning.  Workshops will be delivered either via in-person format at a local health care facility or via a virtual/videoconference format by de Souza Institute. Please note that the in-person workshop offers hands-on practice opportunities through simulations, whereas the virtual workshops do not. The 2025-26 offering schedule is available online. The dates may be subject to change, please check this enrollment page for regular updates.
