If a pharmacist's license has been inactive for more than one year, what action must they take before being reinstated?

When a pharmacist's license has been inactive for more than one year, the required action for reinstatement includes paying the renewal fee. This is a standard protocol designed to ensure that the pharmacist is up to date with their obligations and has intentions to return to practice.

While other actions may involve submitting applications or documentation, the renewal fee signifies the commitment of the pharmacist to reactivate their license and comply with the regulatory requirements set forth by the licensing board. This fee supports the administrative processes necessary for the reinstatement and maintenance of the integrity of the profession.

The requirement to pay the renewal fee ties into the larger regulatory framework that governs pharmacy practice, ensuring that only licensed individuals who meet all criteria can engage in providing pharmaceutical care.
