What is one of the responsibilities of the Person in Charge (PIC) on the day of closing?

The responsibility of the Person in Charge (PIC) on the day of closing includes returning the pharmacy license to the Board of Pharmacy. This is a crucial step as it ensures that the pharmacy officially ceases operations in accordance with state regulations. Returning the license prevents the unlicensed activity that could occur if the pharmacy continues to operate without proper authorization.

In the context of closing a pharmacy, notifying the public about the closure might be necessary for operational transparency, but it does not hold the same regulatory weight. The requirement to transfer medications to a hospital or to dispose of all medications immediately also does not align with the formal closure process set by the Board of Pharmacy. Such actions would typically require additional procedures, depending on inventory and local health regulations. Thus, returning the pharmacy license is a definitive action that signifies compliance with regulatory expectations during the closure process.
