LETTER FROM THE CHAIRPERSON
My Fellow Members,
Exacerbated by COVID-19, an increased demand for pharmacy
services and staffing shortages have contributed to difficult working
conditions in some pharmacies. NABP is aware of these issues and
is taking steps to help the boards of pharmacy protect public health.
Caroline D. Juran,
BSPharm, DPh (Hon)
NABP Chairperson
For example, in this month's issue of Innovations, you will find a
feature article that offers a deeper look at the Multistate Pharmacy
Jurisprudence Examination® (MPJE®) and the continuing process
NABP utilizes to maintain the MPJE and ensure that it remains
relevant and up to date for each participating jurisdiction. To assist
states, NABP continues to maintain the MPJE as a requirement
for measuring competence of jurisdiction-specific differences in
pharmacy practice regulation. All but four American jurisdictions
continue to require the MPJE for licensure in their state, with two
of those developing, administering, and maintaining their own
jurisprudence examinations.
Additionally, in the digital version of this
issue are summary reports of the actions of
two task forces: The Task Force on SafetySensitive
Measures to Review Medication
Errors and the Task Force on Workplace
