  Overview

  This monograph explores the use of professional licensure to protect the public by limiting pharmacy practice only to those who have met specific criteria. The monograph examines the justification for the use of licensure and it considers challenges to licensure as a method of assuring individual competence. The monograph concludes that the task of assuring pharmacists can accept derivative authority from the licensing agencies to establish systems that assure competency at pharmacy practice sites.
