Can pharmacy technicians check the work of other technicians?

In Minnesota, pharmacy technicians are allowed to check the work of other technicians, but this is contingent upon receiving a variance from the Board of Pharmacy. A variance is essentially an exception to existing regulations that must be approved under specific circumstances. This means that while pharmacy technicians can have roles that involve checking each other's work, they would need to adhere to the regulatory requirements and ensure that they have the necessary permission through a formal variance process.

This approach allows for flexibility within the technician roles, but ensures there are still safeguards and accountability measures in place. It emphasizes the importance of a structured and compliant work environment in pharmacy practice. Other options incorrectly suggest an absolute blanket permission or restrictions without addressing the necessary regulatory framework that governs such actions.
