Serving as a convenient reference for individuals seeking an overview of the laws and regulations that govern pharmacy practice in 53 jurisdictions, the updated 2014 Survey of Pharmacy Law is now available.
The Survey, produced in CD format, consists of four sections including a state-by-state overview of organizational law, licensing law, drug law, and census data. Newly added this year, a question in Section 17, Wholesale Distributor Licensure Requirements, asks if criminal history record
checks are required for wholesale distributors. In addition, two new questions added to Section 30, Census Data, ask for the number of pharmacy interns and the number of medical oxygen distributors in the state.

Updates for the 2014 Survey were graciously provided by the state boards of pharmacy. In addition to the boards’ support, NABP requested data from relevant health care associations for the Survey’s prescribing authority and dispensing authority laws in Sections 24 and 25, and laws pertaining to the possession of non-controlled legend drugs and possession of controlled substances in Sections 26 and 27.

NABP provides the Survey of Pharmacy Law to schools and colleges of pharmacy for distribution free of charge to their final-year pharmacy students. This is made possible through the generous grant of Purdue Pharma L.P.
