Must nonresident pharmacists be licensed in West Virginia?

No, they need one state-licensed pharmacist-in-charge for permit and must be licensed by the state the pharmacy is located in
Yes, they must be licensed in West Virginia
Yes, but only for controlled substances
No, only techs need to be licensed

The correct answer is: No, they need one state-licensed pharmacist-in-charge for permit and must be licensed by the state the pharmacy is located in

Nonresident pharmacists do not need to be individually licensed in West Virginia, but they do require a permit. This permit requires that there is at least one state-licensed pharmacist-in-charge present at the pharmacy. Additionally, they must also be licensed in the state where the pharmacy is physically located. Therefore, option A is correct because it provides a comprehensive understanding as to what is required for nonresident pharmacists to practice in West Virginia. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that they need to be individually licensed in West Virginia, which is not the case. Option C is incorrect because a controlled substance license is not the same as a pharmacy license and does not cover the requirements for practicing as a pharmacist. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that only pharmacy technicians need to be licensed, which is not true.
