LICENSURE BY ENDORSEMENT (§ 54.1-3313)

The Board of Pharmacy may issue a license by endorsement, without examination,
except as provided in this section, to practice pharmacy to persons who hold a
current and unrestricted license as pharmacists in other states, the District of
Columbia or possessions or territories of the United States. The applicant for
such license shall present satisfactory evidence of the qualifications equal to
those required of applicants for licensure by examination in Virginia and that
he was licensed by examination by the board of pharmacy in such other
jurisdiction. The standard of competence required in such other jurisdiction
shall not be lower than that required in Virginia.
		Prior to the issuance of a license, the Board may require applicants for
licensure by endorsement to pass an examination on Virginia drug laws and Board
of Pharmacy regulations equal to that required of applicants for licensure by
examination in Virginia.
