Which regulatory body oversees pharmacy technicians in Ohio?

The Ohio Board of Pharmacy is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing pharmacy technicians in Ohio. This board is part of the state government and operates under the authority granted by state laws. It is tasked with ensuring that pharmacy practice in Ohio is safe and compliant with legal standards. Their responsibilities include licensing pharmacy technicians, establishing rules and regulations for pharmacy practice, and addressing violations or complaints. By overseeing these aspects, the Ohio Board of Pharmacy contributes to maintaining the integrity of the pharmacy profession and protecting public health.

Other entities, such as the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Ohio Pharmacy Association, have roles in different aspects of pharmacy practice but do not directly oversee pharmacy technicians in Ohio. The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board focuses on certification, while the DEA regulates controlled substances, and the Ohio Pharmacy Association represents the interests of pharmacists and pharmacy practice rather than specifically regulating technicians.
