Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania Pharmacy Coalition issued a news release on January 20 calling for PBM reform and announcing a new advocacy website that includes an updated state pharmacy deserts map. The Pennsylvania Association of Chain Drug Stores (PACDS) is a member of the coalition, and NACDS is actively working with the coalition and PACDS to advance our joint legislative agenda. 

Also in Pennsylvania, NACDS reminds members that all pharmacy technicians must be registered with the Board of Pharmacy (PBOP) by June 28. The PBOP recently published an instructional video to assist applicants with the registration process. For more information, see:  

• Pharmacy Board Applications, Resources, and Documents 

• Applications for Pharmacy Technicians and Pharmacy Technician trainees via PALS 

• PBOP Pharmacy technician registration FAQs
