6. Does NABP publish a state-by-state comparison of drug and licensing laws that addresses topics such as pharmacy licensure requirements, continuing education requirements, drug product selection, pharmacist/pharmacy technician census data, or dispensing authority of health care professionals?
The NABP Survey of Pharmacy Law serves as a guide through the maze that is pharmacy law. Through its summary charts and explanations, the Survey shows how the state boards of pharmacy are organized, how they function, and their requirements for licensure (pharmacist, pharmacy technician, pharmacy, and wholesale distributor) and licensure transfer. The Survey also contains information on state electronic prescription transmission, continuing education, drug product selection, and patient counseling requirements, as well as pharmacist/pharmacy technician census data and dispensing authority of health care professionals. The NABP Survey of Pharmacy Law is issued annually and is available for purchase via the NABP Web site under Publications. The newest edition (2008) is available exclusively on CD-ROM.

7. I am a final-year pharmacy student and want my free Survey of Pharmacy Law. What do I need to do to get one?
