Bill Summary
This bill provides that a pharmacy intern or extern may administer injectable medications, biologicals, and immunizations to patients by injectable or needle free delivery methods, but only under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist. Currently, a licensed pharmacist may administer certain injectable medications only if the licensed pharmacist is appropriately certified and pre-approved by the New Jersey State Board of Pharmacy. Current law does not permit a pharmacy intern or extern to administer injectable medications. This bill will permit pharmacy interns and externs to administer injectable medications, biologicals, and immunizations under the direct supervision of a pharmacist licensed to administer injectable medications, biologicals and immunizations pursuant to P.L.2003, c.280 (C.45:14-40 et al.), or any regulations promulgated thereunder.
AI Summary
This bill permits pharmacy interns and externs to administer injectable medications, biologicals, and immunizations to patients under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist. Currently, only licensed pharmacists who are appropriately certified and approved by the New Jersey State Board of Pharmacy are allowed to administer certain injectable medications. This bill expands the scope of practice to allow pharmacy interns and externs to perform these tasks, but only under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist authorized to administer injectable medications, biologicals, and immunizations.
