How many hours per week must a Pharmacist-in-Charge (PIC) work in a West Virginia pharmacy?

20 hours
25 hours
30 hours
35 hours

The correct answer is: 30 hours

In West Virginia, the regulations require that a Pharmacist-in-Charge (PIC) must work a minimum of 30 hours per week in their pharmacy. This stipulation is in place to ensure that the pharmacy operates under adequate supervision and that the PIC can effectively manage the pharmacy's operations, oversee the dispensing of medications, and ensure compliance with all state and federal laws pertaining to pharmacy practice. The requirement for a minimum number of hours reflects the importance of having a pharmacist present to guide pharmacy technicians and other staff, maintain quality assurance in medication dispensing, and provide patient care and consultation. While different states may have varying requirements, the establishment of a 30-hour workweek for the PIC in West Virginia is designed to uphold safety and professional standards within the pharmacy environment.
