How long is an intern license valid for from the date of issuance?

An intern license in Oregon is valid until the last day of November following the second anniversary of the date of its issuance. This means that if an intern receives their license on any date, it will automatically be valid until the cutoff of the designated end month in November which follows the two-year period.

This provision allows interns a significant timeframe to gain practical experience in a pharmacy setting, ensuring they have ample opportunity to fulfill the necessary requirements before they are expected to transition to a licensed pharmacist role. The clear timeline defined in this regulation helps interns plan their education and training accordingly, ensuring they are aware of the expiration and renewal process well in advance.

Other options, such as a one-year validity or a two-year duration with no specific date linkage, do not accurately reflect the structured regulatory framework set by the state, emphasizing the importance of being aware of specific dates tied to occupational licenses in pharmacy practice.
