OPD investigates allegations of Professional misconduct in various professions. Pharmacy is one of the largest profession we regulate, as we have jurisdiction over the pharmacies and the pharmacists. Pharmacy inspections are mandatory for a new pharmacy to open. After the initial inspection, pharmacy can be inspected randomly at anytime.
Under the supervision of an Investigator, intern will assist with inspections and visit pharmacies to determine if there are licensed pharmacists on duty. An alarming number of pharmacies have been found to be operating without a pharmacist on duty, putting the public at risk.
