Pharmacist’s Responsibility
If you are the pharmacist-in-charge (PIC) of a pharmacy, it is
your responsibility to ensure that all personnel you allow to perform
pharmacy functions in the prescription area of the pharmacy
are properly licensed or registered with the Board. K.S.A. 65-1663
states, “A pharmacy technician shall work under the direct supervision
and control of a pharmacy. It shall be the responsibility of the
supervising pharmacist to determine that the pharmacy technician
is in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the
board, and the supervising pharmacist shall be responsible for the
acts and omissions of the pharmacy technician in the performance
of the pharmacy technician duties.” You can verify the status of
any credential the Board issues on the Board’s website.
In the event a compliance officer discovers anyone performing
pharmacy functions without the necessary credentials, then all
pharmacists present, including the PIC, will be identified in the
investigative report filed by the compliance officer. The Board
will not fine the pharmacy, but will fine whichever supervising
individuals are responsible for permitting the pharmacy technician
to work without a current permit.
