Whose responsibility is it to ensure that a technician notifies the Board of Pharmacy of any address change?

The duty to ensure that a pharmacy technician notifies the Board of Pharmacy of any address change primarily falls on the supervising pharmacist in charge (PIC). The PIC holds the overarching responsibility for maintaining compliance with pharmacy regulations, which includes ensuring that all employees, including technicians, understand their obligations to report changes in their personal information, such as an address change. This requirement helps maintain up-to-date records within the Board’s system and ensures that all communication reaches the appropriate individuals.

While the technician is indeed responsible for notifying the Board directly, it is part of the PIC’s role to oversee and facilitate this compliance among their staff. The pharmacy owner may have a broader role in overall business operations but does not directly manage the compliance responsibilities of individual technicians. The Board itself does not operate in a capacity to inform technicians; rather, it is the responsibility of the pharmacy to maintain accurate records and ensure that all personnel are compliant with reporting requirements.
