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 who is authorized to administer such substances. Currently, only licensed pharmacists can administer certain injectable medications if they are appropriately certified and approved by the New Jersey State Board of Pharmacy. This bill expands the ability to administer injectable medications beyond just licensed pharmacists to include their supervised interns and externs.
