What is the maximum number of interns a preceptor can have during the 4th year if they are involved in dispensing or compounding?

The maximum number of interns a preceptor can have during the 4th year who are involved in dispensing or compounding is indeed two. This limitation is set to ensure that the quality of education and supervision provided to each intern is maintained at a high standard.

Having no more than two interns allows the preceptor to effectively manage their time and focus on each intern's training. It ensures that interns receive adequate hands-on experience and mentorship in their practical duties related to dispensing and compounding. This maximum also supports safe pharmacy practices, as a smaller group allows for better oversight and reduces the chances of errors during a critical phase of the interns' education.

In Minnesota, this regulation reflects an understanding of the training needs of pharmacy students and aligns with the goals of the pharmacy profession to maintain a high level of patient care and safety.
