Who is subject to audits for continuing education by the Board?

The Board conducts audits for continuing education to ensure that pharmacists maintain their competency and comply with the requirements established for license renewal. The correct answer reflects that not all pharmacists are audited, but rather, a random sample of pharmacists is selected for this process. Additionally, conditionally licensed pharmacists, who may have specific restrictions or requirements, are included in these audits to ensure they are also fulfilling the conditions necessary to maintain their licenses.

By focusing on a random selection combined with specific conditions for certain licensure types, the Board can effectively monitor compliance while not overwhelming the auditing process with the entire population of licensed pharmacists. This method also ensures fairness and helps in identifying potential gaps in ongoing education among pharmacists who might need more oversight.

Other options suggest limitations that don't accurately represent the Board's approach. For instance, only targeting newly licensed or expired licensees would neglect the broader responsibility of all pharmacists to stay current with their education requirements. The selected auditing process aims to maintain professional standards across a more representative segment of the pharmacy community.
