Where must a pharmacist's license be displayed in the community?

A pharmacist's license must be displayed in a public place to ensure that it is visible to patients and customers. This requirement serves several important purposes. Firstly, it allows the public to verify the credentials of the pharmacist providing their medications and healthcare advice, which is crucial for building trust in the pharmacy profession. Displaying the license in a location that is easily accessible to patients promotes transparency and accountability in pharmacy practice.

Having the license in a back office or an employee break room does not serve the public interest, as it would not provide the necessary visibility for customers. Additionally, while displaying the license on a pharmacy's website may be beneficial for information purposes, it does not fulfill the requirement for physical visibility in the community. The law is clear that the license needs to be in a public space within the pharmacy to be compliant with regulatory standards.
