What must interns do if they experience employment changes?

Interns are required to notify the Arkansas State Board of Pharmacy (ASBOP) about any changes in their employment within a specified timeframe, which is typically five days. This requirement ensures that the Board maintains accurate and up-to-date records regarding the status of pharmacy interns, which is crucial for both regulatory compliance and the oversight of the intern's training and education. Prompt reporting helps to facilitate the Board's ability to monitor internship progress, verify qualifications, and ensure that interns are receiving appropriate supervision and experience during their training.

In contrast, submitting a formal complaint is a procedure reserved for reporting issues related to misconduct or violations occurring in the workplace rather than simply communicating changes in employment status. Waiting until the next licensing biennium would delay important notifications that could affect an intern's licensing eligibility or training. Notifying only their preceptor does not fulfill the regulatory requirement to keep the ASBOP informed, which is essential for proper oversight. Hence, notifying the ASBOP within five days is the correct and necessary course of action for interns experiencing employment changes.
