When must a pharmacist notify the Board of Pharmacy about the termination of an internship?

A pharmacist must notify the Board of Pharmacy when an internship is terminated if there are specific conditions, such as the intern committing a crime during their training. This requirement ensures that the state board is informed of serious misconduct, which may affect the intern's ability to practice in the future or involve legal implications for the pharmacy itself.

When an intern commits a crime, it is crucial for the board to be made aware as it could have potential repercussions on public safety and professional standards within the pharmacy practice. The board needs to assess the situation and determine if further actions or investigations are warranted based on the intern's actions.

Other scenarios, like immediate notification for a generic termination without serious misconduct, do not carry the same urgency or requirement for the board to be informed. Similarly, only notifying the Board if the intern requests it or waiting until graduation does not align with the immediacy and nature of reporting serious infractions. Therefore, notification is specifically tied to the occurrence of significant misconduct rather than general termination events.
