Do inspectors in West Virginia have to be licensed pharmacists?

  1. No

  2. Yes

  3. Only if they are inspecting controlled substances

  4. Only if they are conducting routine inspections

The correct answer is: No

The statement that inspectors in West Virginia do not have to be licensed pharmacists is accurate because the state allows non-pharmacists to serve as inspectors. This means that individuals without a pharmacy license can still perform inspections pertinent to pharmacy operations or drug enforcement. Their role may involve evaluating compliance with health regulations and standards, which does not necessarily require a pharmacy background. In light of this, while licensed pharmacists can certainly hold inspection roles and may bring valuable expertise, the statutes do not mandate that an inspector must be a licensed pharmacist. This flexibility helps to ensure that inspections can be carried out effectively by individuals who might possess relevant training or expertise in inspections, administration, or law enforcement, who are not specifically pharmacists.
