Pharmacists who have never served as a pharmacy manager must first appear before the Commission of Pharmacy. Your appearance in front of the Commission of Pharmacy must take place before you can assume the role of pharmacy manager.

If you have served as a pharmacy manager before and have already gone before the Commission, you do not need to request to go before the Commission again.

Request to Appear for First-Time Manager

First-time pharmacy managers must submit their request to appear before the Commission of Pharmacy using the License Maintenance function in eLicense.

To submit the request:

  1. Log in to the eLicense account associated with the active Pharmacist (PCT) license.
  2. At the top, click on "Online Services” and select "License Maintenance".
  3. Click "Start" next to the active PCT license.
  4. From the dropdown menu choose "Request to Appear for First Time Manager", then click "Next".
  5. Answer the questions. Select the pharmacy where you will be serving as pharmacy manager. Click on the pharmacy in the left column and then click the arrow to select the pharmacy and move it to the right column, then click OK.
  6. After completing the questions and selecting your pharmacy, click “Next”.
  7. Review your responses on the next screen, then click "Finish" to submit your request.

IMPORTANT: Clicking "Close and Save" will only save your progress. It does not submit your request. You must click "Finish" to submit your request.

You will receive a confirmation email once the request has been successfully submitted. Requests are reviewed and processed in the order they are received. Your submission does not guarantee you an appearance on the next Commission of Pharmacy agenda. The Department will contact you with the date of the Commission of Pharmacy meeting you are approved to appear before.
