Gives greater regulatory flexibility by allowing pharmacies and pharmacists to utilize up to 4 support staff members per supervising pharmacist. This allows them to staff however they want with the flexibility to utilize interns or technicians collectively up to the 4:1 support staff ratio. This rulemaking also cleans up outdated language regarding CE requirements and test scores to be deleted as the national board exam is a pass or fail exam vs a scored test now as well as deletion of the CE and Supervised work caps for pharmacists that have not had an active license or been in practice for many years.
