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, but only under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist who is authorized to administer such treatments. Currently, only licensed pharmacists are permitted to administer certain injectable medications, and pharmacy interns and externs are not allowed to administer these treatments. This bill will expand the abilities of pharmacy interns and externs, while still requiring the direct oversight of a licensed and qualified pharmacist.
