“The problem in this country is they make schooling very hard, so there’s a desperate need for med professionals. So many of them are foreigners. “
So you are saying that the pharmacist needs to be a watchdog for the foreigners? Presumably for the foreigners to get licensed in the US they have to prove their competency. I heard from students that the boards for foreign-born students were harder than for US students. Don’t know what licensing procedures are for those already qualified doctors who want to practice in the US.
In any case, even if the doctor/PA is sure of what he wrote, it is still good to have another layer of review in place. That saying, do all pharmacists realize that they should be checking the dose etc?
