Arizona MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

Who must sign the application for a pharmacist's renewal license?

1. The pharmacist and their employer

2. Only the pharmacist

3. The pharmacist and the Board President

4. The pharmacist and a notary public

The correct answer is: The pharmacist and their employer

The correct answer is that only the pharmacist must sign the application for a pharmacist’s renewal license. In Arizona, the responsibility for renewal and the completed application lies solely with the pharmacist. They acknowledge their ongoing qualifications, compliance with continuing education requirements, and readiness to practice safely. While the involvement of an employer or other parties in the renewal process can occur in various capacities, such as providing support or verifying employment, it is not a requirement that they sign the application. The application is a personal responsibility of the pharmacist, affirming their professional standing and commitment to the practice of pharmacy. This direct approach reinforces accountability in professional licensing and ensures that all declarations within the application are made by the individual seeking renewal.
