What must be designated on the pharmacy license regarding the PIC?

The pharmacy license must clearly designate the name of the Pharmacist in Charge (PIC). This requirement ensures that the individual responsible for the overall operation of the pharmacy and compliance with state and federal regulations is identified. The role of the PIC is critical, as they oversee all pharmacy activities, ensuring that the practice is conducted safely and legally.

While qualifications, specialty, and years of experience are important attributes of a PIC, they are not required to be listed on the pharmacy license itself. The primary focus is on ensuring that there is accountability and that the pharmacy can be contacted regarding regulatory matters. Thus, the name of the PIC serves as a key identifier for both the pharmacy operations and regulatory oversight.
