The bill amends the Pharmacy Practice Act by updating the supervision requirements for pharmacy technicians and pharmacist interns. Specifically, it allows a pharmacist to supervise a total of four individuals, increasing the previous limit of three. Additionally, it establishes that a pharmacist intern must be supervised at all times while performing their duties, except when they are engaged in experiential training as part of their accredited pharmacy program.
Furthermore, the bill introduces a new requirement that if a pharmacist is supervising four pharmacy technicians or pharmacist interns, at least one of those individuals must be a certified pharmacy technician. The original section of the law that this bill amends is repealed, streamlining the regulations surrounding pharmacy supervision.
