TTUHSC - Mythbusting the MPJE - Legal Truths vs Pharmacy Folklore


Bridge the gap between MPJE preparation and real-world pharmacy practice by correcting common legal misconceptions and clarifying what the law actually requires versus what it permits.·  Empower pharmacists and preceptors to apply sound professional judgment in areas where law is silent, ambiguous, or evolving — especially regarding red flags, documentation, and patient care decisions.·  Clarify the distinction between legal requirements, board expectations, and workplace policies so pharmacists can practice confidently and compliantly.
