Pharmacist Law Written 1h

While many federal laws relate to the drug product, there are also laws that protect patients such as OBRA-90, Poison Prevention and Tamper-Resistant Packaging, HIPAA, 340B, and the PREP Act. This course reviews these laws and the pharmacy technician’s role in complying with them in practice.
