New Jersey News: Erratum Regarding the Registration of Pharmacy Technicians
Reprinted form the April 2008 New Jersey Board of Pharmacy Newsletter.
The January New Jersey Board of Pharmacy Newsletter erroneously stated that all “certified” pharmacy technicians would be required to register with the Board of Pharmacy. All pharmacy technicians in New Jersey will be required to register with the Board, regardless of certification status.
Please note that pharmacy students working as technicians outside of required school of pharmacy rotations will also be required to register, and will be counted in the pharmacist-to-technician ratio.
In addition, please note that the deadline for registration of New Jersey pharmacy technicians has been extended to December 1, 2008. Although all persons who are currently employed as technicians have until December 1, 2008 to register, technicians should submit their applications as soon as possible to allow time for processing the application, as well as to allow adequate time to complete the required fingerprinting and subsequent criminal history background check. Unregistered pharmacy technicians may not work after December 1, 2008, unless they qualify for designation as a pharmacy technician applicant. For more information please view the “Notice of Extension of Deadline for Registration as a Pharmacy Technician,” which was published in the New Jersey Register on February 19, 2008, at www.state.nj.us/oag/ca/adoption/pharmnot219.htm. The actual application form is available on the New Jersey Board of Pharmacy Web site.
