Delaware Licensing

How pharmacy licensing works in Delaware.

Delaware asks every new pharmacist for 1,500 hours of board-approved experience, the NAPLEX and the MPJE, plus a state and FBI background check. Pharmacists moving in use NABP license transfer and sit the MPJE for Delaware.

Pharmacists

NAPLEX plus the MPJE

New pharmacists pass the NAPLEX and the MPJE and complete 1,500 hours of board-approved pre-licensure experience. A Delaware and FBI fingerprint background check is also required.

Moving to Delaware

NABP license transfer

Pharmacists licensed elsewhere apply through NABP's license transfer program, pass the MPJE for Delaware and complete a new fingerprint background check. Checks done for other states don't count.

Technicians

No state technician license

The Delaware Board of Pharmacy does not list a pharmacy technician license or registration among its credentials. Technicians work under a pharmacist's supervision.

Broader Scope

Contraception access

Delaware law lets trained pharmacists dispense contraceptives, and dispense and give injectable hormonal contraceptives, under a state standing order.

Source: Delaware Board of Pharmacy (Division of Professional Regulation) and Delaware Code Title 24, Chapter 25; Title 16, Chapter 30O. Requirements change, so always confirm with the board before you apply.
