As of July 1, 2017, which applicants in West Virginia require a criminal background check?

  1. Interns only

  2. Interns, pharmacists, technicians, and technician trainees

  3. Pharmacists and technicians only

  4. Technicians and technician trainees only

The correct answer is: Interns only

The requirement for criminal background checks in West Virginia, as of July 1, 2017, includes a wider range of applicants than just interns. Applicants for pharmacist licenses, pharmacy technicians, and technician trainees also need to submit to a criminal background check. The regulation aims to ensure the safety and integrity of pharmacy practice within the state. Interns, while certainly undergoing a background check, are part of a broader group that must comply with this requirement. Thus, identifying interns only overlooks the full spectrum of individuals required to undergo a background check before practicing in various capacities within the pharmacy setting. Recognizing the involvement of all these roles reflects the state’s commitment to maintaining strict standards for pharmacy licensing and practice.
