The Alaska Board of Pharmacy held an emergency meeting this week to draft emergency rules to deal with COVID-19. The rules, once approved by the Lt. Governor, will expand certified pharmacy technician duties, expand pharmacists’ duties allowing them to administer injectables according to the prescriber’s directions and eliminate the Alaska Jurisprudence Intern Practice Questionnaire, in addition to other emergency related changes. The Board will meet again this week to vote on the final changes. They will be posted with a FAQ sheet on the Board’s website upon finalization.
