North Carolina News: Item 2120 - Pharmacist-Manager Responsibility To Verify Licensure/Registration Status of Staff Pharmacists and Technicians
Reprinted from the July 2006 North Carolina Board of Pharmacy Newsletter.
The Board reminds pharmacist-managers that they bear personal responsibility to ensure that all staff pharmacists employed at your site are currently licensed by the Board and that all technicians are currently registered with the Board. The Board recently heard a disciplinary matter in which a pharmacist was allowed to practice at a site for several months despite his having failed to renew his license. The pharmacist-manager reported her belief that checking licensure status was primarily the responsibility of the corporate permittee. Remember that under North Carolina law (NCGS §90-85.21), a pharmacy permit is issued jointly to the owner and to the pharmacist-manager. Accordingly, the pharmacist-manager has a corresponding personal responsibility to ensure that all operations at the permitted site are carried out in accordance with state law.
