Who can perform controlled substance transfers?

Two pharmacy tech trainees
Two techs
Two interns
Two pharmacists

The correct answer is: Two pharmacy tech trainees

The correct answer is that two pharmacists can perform controlled substance transfers. According to pharmacy law, the transfer of controlled substances between pharmacies is a regulated activity primarily reserved for licensed pharmacists. This is because pharmacists are trained to understand the legal responsibilities associated with controlled substances, including the proper documentation and compliance with state and federal regulations. While pharmacy technicians and interns play vital roles in pharmacy operations, the handling and transfer of controlled substances require a level of oversight and legal accountability that only licensed pharmacists possess. Both pharmacy techs and interns may assist in various pharmacy tasks, but they do not have the authority to independently perform controlled substance transfers. This ensures that all transfers are conducted in accordance with stringent regulatory requirements designed to prevent misuse and ensure patient safety.
