Case Summary

LARA filed an Administrative Complaint against our client, a licensed pharmacist, seeking suspension or revocation of his license. The complaint alleged he had allowed an unlicensed technician to sign in under his credentials and perform pharmaceutical services without a license.

Legal Strategy

We presented substantial mitigating evidence to the Licensing Compliance Officer at a Compliance Conference regarding the circumstances of the allegation. The evidence established that the pharmacist had supervised the unlicensed technician and that at no time were patients of the pharmacy put at risk.

Outcome

LARA entered into a Consent Order requiring the pharmacist to pay a small fine. The Complaint was dismissed, and no action was taken against his license.

Key Factors in Winning the Case

  • Evidence of active supervision of the technician
