If a charitable clinic pharmacy is open for 15-30 hours per month, how many hours must the PIC work?

3 hours
4 hours
5 hours
6 hours

The correct answer is: 4 hours

In West Virginia, the regulations for charitable clinic pharmacies require that the pharmacist in charge (PIC) is present for a minimum number of hours based on the pharmacy's operating schedule. For a clinic pharmacy that operates for a total of 15-30 hours each month, the PIC must work at least four hours during that same timeframe. This requirement ensures that a licensed pharmacist is available to oversee the pharmacy operations, maintain compliance with pharmacy laws, and provide professional guidance in dispensing medications. The choice of four hours is aligned with the regulatory expectation for PIC involvement, as it allows for sufficient oversight while considering the limited operation hours of the charitable clinic pharmacy. This rule balances the need for pharmacist leadership with the pharmacy's service model, ensuring patient safety and effective pharmacy management within the reduced operational capacity of a charitable setting.
