How many days notice must a pharmacist be provided of a hearing?

In Minnesota, a pharmacist is required to be given a minimum of 20 days’ notice prior to a hearing. This ensures that the pharmacist has sufficient time to prepare for the hearing, which may involve gathering evidence, formulating a defense, or consulting with legal counsel. The 20-day notice requirement is intended to uphold fairness and due process within the regulatory framework that governs pharmacy practice. By providing a set period for notice, the rules support the principle that those facing potential adverse actions have the opportunity to adequately present their case.

The other options do not meet the legal requirement for proper notification, highlighting the importance of adhering to the established 20-day timeframe for all parties involved in the hearing process.
