Tennessee Controlled Substance Law

[kvl1027]

I'm studying for the TN MPJE, but I can't seem to find the controlled substance laws/requirements. I've downloaded the rules and regs and there is nothing specific about TN controlled substance requirements. Frankly the law seems pretty thin. Am I missing something?

Is it true that technicians can do transfers in TN?

Certified Technicians can. They can also receive verbal prescription authorization.

Are there any particular laws or regulations you are looking for? Or just a general overview? I'm a TN pharm student and I can go back and look at my law notes and a copy of the law if you'd like.

All of the information on controlled substances is in the TCA.

Depends on your question. For example 63-6-236 has prescription requirements. You really need a TN MPJE study book now that they don't publish the law book anymore.

I was able to find it. Most Boards just put that Shiz on the site. Unfortunately, I had to dig, but I figured it out. Thanks guys.

What's the difference between a technician and a certified technician?

All technicians are required to be "Registered" with the board of pharmacy, essentially meaning licensed. A certified technician is one who has completed a training program and passed the certification exam becoming a certified and registered pharmacy technician.
