I need some advice but don't want the world to see. PM please. I was just wondering if the actions I take with my state board could put my coworkers licenses on the line.
I don't think there are any lawyer that specializes in pharmacy on this board.
Each state board is different so I think you need a lawyer that is specific to your state. Lawyers also don't give out free advice...
About licenses on the line, It takes a LOT to get a pharmacist to lose their license. Most state boards have disciplinary actions where you can see who got penalized and the penalty. By looking it up, you can see what state boards are concerned about. Here are some examples why pharmacists lost their license...
