What’s Included in the Survey of Pharmacy Law?
The NABP Survey of Pharmacy Law serves as a convenient, interactive web-based resource for individuals who require an overview of the state laws and regulations that govern pharmacy practice. The Survey provides maps and tables that can be customized to show a state-by-state breakdown of specific pharmacy and related health care laws and rules.
Through its maps, tables, and explanatory notes, the Survey shows how the state boards are organized, how they function, and their requirements for licensure and licensure transfer. The Survey also offers an overview of the laws and rules that regulate the prescribing and dispensing of medications and establish professional standards.
