The Wisconsin Department of Regulation & Licensing will hold its professional pharmacy examining board meeting starting at 9 a.m. Wednesday at the Cedar Creek Lodge, 805 Creske Ave., Rothschild.
The board is part of the state’s Department of Regulation & Licensing, which licenses and regulates 128 different types of credentials in 57 professional fields, including pharmacists’ licenses. It issues nearly 50,000 new credentials and it renews approximately 350,000 credentials every two years.
“This is a great opportunity for pharmacists in central Wisconsin, other health professionals and the general public to see the work of the Pharmacy Board first hand,” said Celia Jackson, the department’s secretary. “Holding this type of meeting outside Madison is part of a broader effort to make the work of licensing and regulatory boards more visible and accessible to the people of the state.”
Agenda items include discussing various issues related to filling prescriptions as well as a closed session to deliberate on possible disciplinary actions.
Following the meeting, participants are invited to travel a short distance to Marshfield Clinic Weston Center to observe a demonstration of a remote dispensing and telepharmacy operation.
