Mississippi State Board of Pharmacy Has the following on its webpage:

  • Attention dispensing physicians :
  • There is NO requirement that your location be registered with the Mississippi Board of Pharmacy.

How many other state boards of pharmacy do not require "dispensing physicians" to register with the state board of pharmacy?

Virginia is a state board of pharmacy that does require registration:

If a physician wishes to dispense a drug that is also available in the local pharmacy, does the physician need to obtain a license from the Board of Pharmacy to dispense?
Yes, the physician must obtain from the Board of Pharmacy a license to dispense.  There are two dispensing licenses offered by the Board of Pharmacy as outlined in guidance document 110-29. The more commonly issued license is the “practitioners of the healing arts to sell controlled substances” license and it authorizes a physician to dispense drugs to his own patients only.
