Why You Need a Pharmacy Law Certificate (PLC)

Pharmacists lack the specialized training they need to keep their patients – and their license – safe:

Mismanaging controlled substances could cost your practice thousands in fines.

Lack of preparedness for audits and inspections can result in fines, warnings, or suspension of operations.

Incomplete records, improper storage of medications, or outdated protocols can put you and your team at risk.

Numerous credentials exist for pharmacy specializations, though the majority are clinically focused.

Training in legal and ethical practice is critical for every pharmacist and provides you with the opportunity to stand out among peers and employers.

Don’t let legal and ethical risks jeopardize your practice.
