Resolution Number: 104-2-08
Title: Standardized Internship Registration
Action: Passed

Whereas, there is an identified need to standardize when interns are recognized and licensed by the boards of pharmacy in order to accumulate required internship hours while completing the experiential practice requirements noted in the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) Accreditation Standards and Guidelines for the Professional Program in Pharmacy Leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy Degree;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that NABP encourage state boards of pharmacy to uniformly register pharmacy interns and for NABP to work with American Association of College of Pharmacy and ACPE to establish a uniform date within the professional pharmacy curriculum to begin internship registration.

(Resolution passed at the NABP 104th Annual Meeting, Baltimore, MD)
