Amend regulations to accept hours of experience gained prior to registration of intership with Board by foreign pharmacists who are approved to take the FPGEE examination.

The Board reviewed the petition at its meeting on March 8, 2006 and requested public comment prior to making a decision on whether to initiate rule-making at its meeting on June 7, 2006.

Discussions indicated that the applicant wanted immediate relief rather than a change in the rule and that the experience being gained was as a technician and would not qualify as experience necessary for licensure as a pharmacist regardless of the timing.
