AMCP supports the establishment by state boards of pharmacy of counseling, treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation programs for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and student pharmacists who are subject to physical or mental impairment due to the influence of drugs – including alcohol – or other causes, when such impairment has potential to adversely impact their abilities to function properly in a professional capacity.  AMCP supports the empowerment of state boards of pharmacy to use discretionary powers in determining employment waiver requests relating to the licensure of impaired pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.
