Our Mission
We are student pharmacists at UCSD intent on highlighting the laws of the California Board of Pharmacy regarding controlled substances in order to:
- Educate new pharmacy students
- Provide a study guide to students preparing for the CPJE
- Refresh practicing pharmacists to keep them up to date with new laws
This is important because laws are continuously changing and we want to provide a convenient and interactive resource to keep up with these changes. We also hope this site will serve as a quick reference to answer any burning questions you may come across throughout your daily practice. Our main goal in providing this resource is to prevent pharmacists and future pharmacists from unknowingly breaking the law when dealing with controlled substance prescriptions.
