Under Hawaii law, how is an intern pharmacist supervised?

In Hawaii, an intern pharmacist is required to be supervised by a registered pharmacist. This supervision is essential to ensure that the intern is adhering to the standards of practice, receiving proper guidance, and is compliant with state regulations. The registered pharmacist is responsible for overseeing the intern's activities, providing mentorship, and ensuring that all tasks performed by the intern are within the legal scope of pharmacy practice. This relationship is foundational for the intern's professional development and helps prepare them for their future role as licensed pharmacists.

Different roles like pharmacy technicians, pharmacy interns, or pharmacists in training do not fulfill the supervision requirement as mandated by the law, ensuring that only a registered pharmacist carries the responsibility of oversight and accountability for the actions of the intern.
