Pharmacists (TSHP) in favor of the amendments to the rules as proposed, provided
the required preceptor training program is easily accessible and that the
program's content is updated and fresh. The Board agrees with this comment
and will work the Texas colleges of pharmacy to increase availability and
update content of the required preceptor training programs.
