How many unlicensed persons can one pharmacist supervise at a time?

In Indiana, the regulations dictate that a pharmacist may supervise up to 6 unlicensed persons at a time while ensuring the pharmacy is operated safely and effectively. This supervision is essential for maintaining the integrity of pharmacy practice and ensuring that patient care is not compromised. The role of the pharmacist includes overseeing the activities of unlicensed personnel, but it is regulated to prevent any risk associated with having too many unlicensed individuals operating in a pharmacy setting simultaneously. The number is set specifically to ensure that the pharmacist can provide adequate oversight, guidance, and support to all individuals within the pharmacy. This limit allows for a balance between operational efficiency and patient safety.
