Do pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, or interns working at a remote pharmacy need an in-state license?

Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and interns working at a remote pharmacy are required to hold an appropriate license or registration issued by the Vermont Board of Pharmacy (BOP). This requirement ensures that all personnel involved in the dispensing and provision of pharmaceutical services are adequately qualified and comply with the state's regulatory standards.

By requiring that all practitioners be licensed or registered, the Vermont BOP maintains a standard of safety and professionalism in the pharmacy practice. This regulation helps to ensure that pharmacy operations align with state laws and that patients receive care from qualified individuals who are familiar with Vermont's specific regulations and practice standards.

In this context, the other options fall short because they imply either a lack of necessity for licensing or differentiate among the roles in a way inconsistent with state requirements. Compliance with state law is essential for maintaining the integrity of the pharmacy practice and protecting patient health and safety.
