EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT
The Executive Committee of the North Carolina Medical Board met beginning at 10:40 am,
Wednesday July 21, 2010 at the offices of the Board. Committee members present were:
Donald E. Jablonski, DO, Chair; Janice E. Huff, MD; George L. Saunders, MD; William A.
Walker, MD; and John B. Lewis, Jr. Also present were Ralph C. Loomis, MD, R. David
Henderson (Executive Director), Hari Gupta (Director of Operations) and Peter T. Celentano,
CPA (Comptroller).
Financial Statements
Monthly Accounting May 2010: Mr. Celentano, CPA, presented the May 2010 compiled
financial statements. May is the seventh month of fiscal year 2010. The Committee
recommends the Board accept the financial statements as reported.
Old Business
Fines: N.C. General Statute 90-14(a) permits the Board to fine a licensee who has
violated the Medical Practice Act. The Board previously approved the use of fines in cases
where there is other disciplinary action. Senior staff continues to work on the manner in which
fines, without accompanying discipline or other public action, should be published or reported.
This issue will be discussed further at the September meeting.
Change in Staff Privileges: N.C. General Statute Section 90-14.13 states that the chief
administrative officer of every licensed hospital shall report to the Board actions involving a
physician’s privileges to practice in that institution including any resignation from practice or
voluntary reduction of privileges. However, the Board’s online Change in Staff Privileges form
only requires hospitals to report “for cause” resignations or reductions in privileges.
The Committee believes the current law may be too broad and recommends the Board
seek a change to N.C. General Statute Section 90-14-13 to provide that changes in staff
privileges are reportable pursuant to rules to be adopted by the Board.
New Business
Proposed Changes to Rules Regarding Misdemeanor Convictions: The Committee
considered proposed changes to rule regarding publication of misdemeanor convictions on the
Board’s website.
The Committee preliminary approved the proposed changes and asked staff to forward
the latest draft to the other Board members for comment. This matter will be discussed further
at the September meeting.
2012 Meeting and Hearing Calendars: The Committee reviewed the proposed 2012
Board Meeting and Hearing schedule and recommends adoption.
Nomination of New Officers and Executive Committee Members: The Committee
nominates the following officers for 2010-2011: Dr. Ralph Loomis, President-Elect; Dr. William
Walker, Secretary/Treasurer; and Ms. Pamela Blizzard member at large of the Executive
Committee.
According to the Bylaws, the current President-Elect, Dr. Janice Huff, shall automatically
become President on November 1 and the current President, Dr. Donald Jablonski, will continue
to serve on the Executive Committee as Past President.

Contact with patients before prescribing
It is the position of the North Carolina Medical Board that prescribing drugs to an individual the
prescriber has not personally examined is inappropriate except as noted in the paragraphs
below. Before prescribing a drug, a licensee should make an informed medical judgment based
on the circumstances of the situation and on his or her training and experience. Ordinarily, this
will require that the licensee personally perform an appropriate history and physical
examination, make a diagnosis, and formulate a therapeutic plan, a part of which might be a
prescription. This process must be documented appropriately.
July 21-23, 2010
Jul-98
Prescribing for a patient whom the licensee has not personally examined may be suitable under
certain circumstances. These may include admission orders for a newly hospitalized patient,
prescribing for a patient of another licensee for whom the prescriber is taking call, or continuing
medication on a short-term basis for a new patient prior to the patient’s first appointment.
Established patients may not require a new history and physical examination for each new
prescription, depending on good medical practice.
Prescribing for an individual whom the licensee has not met or personally examined may also
be suitable when that individual is the partner of a patient whom the licensee is treating for
gonorrhea or chlamydia. Partner management of patients with gonorrhea or chlamydia should
include the following items:
a) Signed prescriptions of oral antibiotics of the appropriate quantity and strength
sufficient to provide curative treatment for each partner named by the infected
patient. Notation on the prescription should include the statement: “Expedited
partner therapy.”
b) Signed prescriptions to named partners should be accompanied by written material
that states that clinical evaluation is desirable; that prescriptions for medication or
related compounds to which the partner is allergic should not be accepted; and that
lists common medication side effects and the appropriate response to them.
c) Prescriptions and accompanying written material should be given to the licensee’s
patient for distribution to named partners.
d) The licensee should keep appropriate documentation of partner management.
Documentation should include the names of partners and a copy of the prescriptions
issued or an equivalent statement.
It is the position of the Board that prescribing drugs to individuals the licensee has never met
based solely on answers to a set of questions, as is common in Internet or toll-free telephone
prescribing, is inappropriate and unprofessional.
(Adopted November 1999) (Amended February 2001, November 2009)
7/2010 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: No changes are recommended.
7/2010 BOARD ACTION: Adopt the Committee recommendation.
Guidelines for avoiding misunderstandings during physical examinations
It is the position of the North Carolina Medical Board that proper care and sensitivity are
needed during physical examinations to avoid misunderstandings that could lead to charges
of sexual misconduct against physicians licensees. In order to prevent such
misunderstandings, the Board offers the following guidelines.
1)
2)
Sensitivity to patient dignity should be considered by the physician licensee when
undertaking a physical examination. The patient should be assured of adequate
auditory and visual privacy and should never be asked to disrobe in the presence of
the physician licensee. Examining rooms should be safe, clean, and well
maintained, and should be equipped with appropriate furniture for examination and
treatment. Gowns, sheets and/or other appropriate apparel should be made
available to protect patient dignity and decrease embarrassment to the patient while
a thorough and professional examination is conducted.
Whatever the sex of the patient, a third party, a staff member, should be readily
available at all times during a physical examination, and it is strongly advised that a
third party be present when the physician licensee performs an examination of the
July 21-23, 2010
3)
4)
5)
breast(s), genitalia, or rectum. It is the physician’s licensee’s responsibility to have a
staff member available at any point during the examination.
The physician licensee should individualize the approach to physical examinations
so that each patient's apprehension, fear, and embarrassment are diminished as
much as possible. An explanation of the necessity of a complete physical
examination, the components of that examination, and the purpose of disrobing may
be necessary in order to minimize the patient's possible misunderstanding.
The physician licensee and staff should exercise the same degree of professionalism
and care when performing diagnostic procedures (eg, electro-cardiograms,
electromyograms, endoscopic procedures, and radiological studies, etc), as well as
during surgical procedures and postsurgical follow-up examinations when the patient
is in varying stages of consciousness.
The physician licensee should be on the alert for suggestive or flirtatious behavior or
mannerisms on the part of the patient and should not permit a compromising
situation to develop.
(Adopted May 1991) (Amended May 1993, May 1996, January 2001, February 2001, October
2002)
7/2010 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Committee recommends that the word
“physician” be replaced with “licensee” to be consistent with previous changes made during the
Position Statement review process.
7/2010 BOARD ACTION: Adopt the Committee recommendation.
OLD BUSINESS:
POSITION STATEMENT CONTINUED REVIEW
Issue: In November 2009, the Board approved the Policy Committee’s recommendation
to review Position Statements at least once every four years. A review schedule has
been formulated for the Committee’s consideration.
TELEMEDICINE
Issue: The Board to consider recent adoptions of telemedicine policies and statements by the
Federation, Blue Cross Blue Shield and the AMA.
5/2009 COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: Dr. Rhyne reported that the Federation recently adopted a
statement regarding telemedicine. It was also reported that BCBS would be implementing a new
e-medicine policy.
5/2009 BOARD ACTION: Mr. Brosius to use information from AMA, Federation, Medical Society
and BCBS, to begin working on a comprehensive policy. This policy should include the
telepsychiatry issue the Committee addressed last year.
7/2009 COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: Dr. Rhyne reported that the AMA recently passed a policy
regarding telemedicine and that Blue Cross Blue Shield may have also taken a position
regarding this issue.
July 21-23, 2010
7/2009 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Mr. Brosius is to continue to research this issue.
The Committee will report its findings at the September meeting.
7/2009 BOARD ACTION: No action required.
9/2009 COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: Mr. Brosius presented the following proposed Position
Statement. Comments were solicited from DHHS and their recommendations were considered
and incorporated where the Policy Committee deemed appropriate.
9/2009 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Present proposed Position Statement to the full
Board for consideration. This issue will be revisited at the November 2009 meeting.
9/2009 BOARD ACTION: Have proposed Position Statement published in Forum for comments
before final adoption by Board.
11/2009 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Continue to collect comments. Position
Statement and comments will be considered at the January 2010 meeting.
11/2009 BOARD ACTION: Continue to collect comments. Position Statement and comments
will be considered at the January 2010 meeting.
1/2010 COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: Comments received are on file and were provided for the
Committee’s review. The Committee discussed the need for informed consent. It was the
consensus of the Committee that the proposed Position Statement should not be changed.
1/2010 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: (Loomis/Camnitz) Approve proposed Position
Statement. Present to full Board for approval.
1/2010 BOARD ACTION: After a full Board discussion, the Board voted to table this issue until
the staff could obtain additional information regarding informed consent.
3/2010 COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: The Committee received comments from Dr. Wu and Mr.
Bode regarding current standards in telemedicine as it related to radiology. Additional
comments were made from public guests, indicating their interest in monitoring the Board’s
activity on this issue.
3/2010 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Mr. Brosius is to prepare new language for the
informed consent section of the proposed Position Statement. The proposal will be presented
to the Policy Committee at the May meeting for further consideration.
3/2010 BOARD ACTION: Accept the Committee Recommendation.
5/2010 COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: The Committee heard from Dr. Brian S. Kuszyk, MD, Past
President, NC Chapter of the American College of Radiology. Dr. Kuszyk explained that the
nature of radiology is such that all or nearly all of radiology is teleradiology. He also indicated
that the specialty of radiology is not one that relies upon informed consent. The Board
discussed the fact that perhaps the section on informed consent is aimed at such a narrow
category of cases that it is in fact more distracting than helpful.
5/2010 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Remove Informed consent section of the position
statement as not necessary.
5/2010 BOARD ACTION: Adopt Committee recommendation.
July 21-23, 2010
7/2010 COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: Janice Ramquist, Executive Director, North Carolina
Integrative Medicine Society provided the Committee with a written statement regarding the
Telemedicine position statement. Dr. Walker recommended that the section on fees be deleted.
7/2010 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Allow full Board to review letter from NCIMS.
Approve proposed changes to Telemedicine position statement, which include deleting the
informed consent and fee sections.
7/2010 BOARD ACTION: Adopt the Committee recommendation.
Telemedicine
“Telemedicine” is the practice of medicine using electronic communication, information
technology or other means between a licensee in one location and a patient in another location
with or without an intervening health care provider.
The Board recognizes that technological advances have made it possible for licensees to
provide medical care to patients who are separated by some geographical distance. As a
result, telemedicine is a potentially useful tool that, if employed appropriately, can provide
important benefits to patients, including: increased access to health care, expanded utilization of
specialty expertise, rapid availability of patient records, and the reduced cost of patient care.
The Board cautions, however, that licensees practicing via telemedicine will be held to the same
standard of care as licensees employing more traditional in-person medical care. A failure to
conform to the appropriate standard of care, whether that care is rendered in-person or via
telemedicine, may subject the licensee to potential discipline by this Board.
The Board provides the following considerations to its licensees as guidance in providing
medical services via telemedicine:
Training of Staff -- Staff involved in the telemedicine visit should be trained in the use of the
telemedicine equipment and competent in its operation.
Examinations -- Licensees using telemedicine technologies to provide care to patients located in
North Carolina must provide an appropriate examination prior to diagnosing and/or treating the
patient. However, this examination need not be in-person if the technology is sufficient to
provide the same information to the licensee as if the exam had been performed face-to-face.
Other examinations may also be considered appropriate if the licensee is at a distance from the
patient, but a licensed health care professional is able to provide various physical findings that
the licensee needs to complete an adequate assessment. On the other hand, a simple
questionnaire without an appropriate examination may be a violation of law and/or subject the
licensee to discipline by the Board.1
Licensee-Patient Relationship – The licensee using telemedicine should have some means of
verifying that the person seeking treatment is in fact who he or she claims to be. A diagnosis
should be established through the use of accepted medical practices, i.e., a patient history,
mental status examination, physical examination and appropriate diagnostic and laboratory
testing. Licensees using telemedicine should also ensure the availability for appropriate followup care and maintain a complete medical record that is available to the patient and other
treating health care providers.
1
See also the Board’s Position Statement entitled “Contact with Patients before Prescribing.”
July 21-23, 2010
Medical Records -- The licensee treating a patient via telemedicine must maintain a complete
record of the telemedicine patient’s care according to prevailing medical record standards. The
medical record serves to document the analysis and plan of an episode of care for future
reference. It must reflect an appropriate evaluation of the patient's presenting symptoms, and
relevant components of the electronic professional interaction must be documented as with any
other encounter.
The licensee must maintain the record’s confidentiality and disclose the records to the patient
consistent with state and federal law. If the patient has a primary care provider and a
telemedicine provider for the same ailment, then the primary care provider’s medical record and
the telemedicine provider’s record constitute one complete patient record.
Licensure -- The practice of medicine is deemed to occur in the state in which the patient is
located. Therefore, any licensee using telemedicine to regularly provide medical services to
patients located in North Carolina should be licensed to practice medicine in North Carolina.2
Licensees need not reside in North Carolina, as long as they have a valid, current North
Carolina license.
North Carolina licensees intending to practice medicine via telemedicine technology to treat or
diagnose patients outside of North Carolina should check with other state licensing boards.
Most states require physicians to be licensed, and some have enacted limitations to
telemedicine practice or require or offer a special registration. A directory of all U.S. medical
boards may be accessed at the Federation of State Medical Boards Web site:
http://www.fsmb.org/directory_smb.html.
Fees – The Board’s licensees should be aware that third-party payors may have differing
requirements and definitions of telemedicine for the purpose of reimbursement.
Medical, Nursing, Pharmacy Boards: Joint Statement on Pain Management in End-of-Life Care
5/2010 COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: The Committee discussed whether changes should
be made to specify that the position statement applies to other licensees as well. It was
suggested that, since the position statement was initially propounded as a joint
statement, it might be helpful to discuss this matter with the other licensing boards.
5/2010 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Mr. Brosius to contact the Pharmacy Board
and the Nursing Board to determine if they object to the proposed changes and if they
will join in those changes.
5/2010 BOARD ACTION: Adopt the Committee recommendation.
7/2010 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Mr. Brosius to contact the Pharmacy Board
and the Nursing Board to determine if they object to the proposed changes and if they
will join in those changes.
N.C. Gen. Stat. § 90-18(c)(11) exempts from the requirement for licensure: “The practice of medicine or
surgery by any nonregistered reputable physician or surgeon who comes into this State, either in person
or by use of any electronic or other mediums, on an irregular basis, to consult with a resident registered
physician or to consult with personnel at a medical school about educational or medical training. This
proviso shall not apply to physicians resident in a neighboring state and regularly practicing in this State.”
2
The Board also notes that the North Carolina General Statutes define the practice of medicine as
including, “The performance of any act, within or without this State, described in this subdivision by use of
any electronic or other means, including the Internet or telephone.” N.C. Gen. Stat. § 90-1.1(5)f.
July 21-23, 2010
7/2010 BOARD ACTION: Adopt the Committee recommendation.
Joint Statement on Pain Management in End-of-Life Care
(Adopted by the North Carolina Medical, Nursing, and Pharmacy Boards)
Through dialogue with members of the healthcare community and consumers, a number of
perceived regulatory barriers to adequate pain management in end-of-life care have been
expressed to the Boards of Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy. The following statement
attempts to address these misperceptions by outlining practice expectations for physicians and
other health care professionals authorized to prescribe medications, as well as nurses and
pharmacists involved in this aspect of end-of-life care. The statement is based on:



the legal scope of practice for each of these licensed health professionals;
professional collaboration and communication among health professionals providing
palliative care; and
a standard of care that assures on-going pain assessment, a therapeutic plan for pain
management interventions; and evidence of adequate symptom management for the
dying patient.
It is the position of all three Boards that patients and their families should be assured of
competent, comprehensive palliative care at the end of their lives. Physicians, nurses and
pharmacists should be knowledgeable regarding effective and compassionate pain relief, and
patients and their families should be assured such relief will be provided.
Because of the overwhelming concern of patients about pain relief, the physician needs to give
special attention to the effective assessment of pain. It is particularly important that the
physician frankly but sensitively discuss with the patient and the family their concerns and
choices at the end of life. As part of this discussion, the physician should make clear that, in
some end of life care situations, there are inherent risks associated with effective pain relief.
The Medical Board will assume opioid use in such patients is appropriate if the responsible
physician is familiar with and abides by acceptable medical guidelines regarding such use, is
knowledgeable about effective and compassionate pain relief, and maintains an appropriate
medical record that details a pain management plan. Because the Board is aware of the
inherent risks associated with effective pain relief in such situations, it will not interpret their
occurrence as subject to discipline by the Board.
With regard to pharmacy practice, North Carolina has no quantity restrictions on dispensing
controlled substances including those in Schedule II. This is significant when utilizing the
federal rule that allows the partial filling of Schedule II prescriptions for up to 60 days. In these
situations it would minimize expenses and unnecessary waste of drugs if the prescriber would
note on the prescription that the patient is terminally ill and specify the largest anticipated
quantity that could be needed for the next two months. The pharmacist could then dispense
smaller quantities of the prescription to meet the patient’s needs up to the total quantity
authorized. Government-approved labeling for dosage level and frequency can be useful as
guidance for patient care. Health professionals may, on occasion, determine that higher levels
are justified in specific cases. However, these occasions would be exceptions to general
practice and would need to be properly documented to establish informed consent of the patient
and family.
Federal and state rules also allow the fax transmittal of an original prescription for Schedule II
drugs for hospice patients. If the prescriber notes the hospice status of the patient on the faxed
document, it serves as the original. Pharmacy rules also allow the emergency refilling of
prescriptions in Schedules III, IV, and V. While this does not apply to Schedule II drugs, it can
July 21-23, 2010
be useful in situations where the patient is using drugs such as Vicodin for pain or Xanax for
anxiety.
The nurse is often the health professional most involved in on-going pain assessment,
implementing the prescribed pain management plan, evaluating the patient’s response to such
interventions and adjusting medication levels based on patient status. In order to achieve
adequate pain management, the prescription must provide dosage ranges and frequency
parameters within which the nurse may adjust (titrate) medication in order to achieve adequate
pain control. Consistent with the licensee’s scope of practice, the RN or LPN is accountable for
implementing the pain management plan utilizing his/her knowledge base and documented
assessment of the patient’s needs. The nurse has the authority to adjust medication levels
within the dosage and frequency ranges stipulated by the prescriber and according to the
agency’s established protocols. However, the nurse does not have the authority to change the
medical pain management plan. When adequate pain management is not achieved under the
currently prescribed treatment plan, the nurse is responsible for reporting such findings to the
prescriber and documenting this communication. Only the physician or other health professional
with authority to prescribe may change the medical pain management plan.
Communication and collaboration between members of the healthcare team, and the patient
and family are essential in achieving adequate pain management in end-of-life care. Within this
interdisciplinary framework for end of life care, effective pain management should include:






thorough documentation of all aspects of the patient’s assessment and care;
a working diagnosis and therapeutic treatment plan including pharmacologic and
non-pharmacologic interventions;
regular and documented evaluation of response to the interventions and, as
appropriate, revisions to the treatment plan;
evidence of communication among care providers;
education of the patient and family; and
a clear understanding by the patient, the family and healthcare team of the
treatment goals.
It is important to remind health professionals that licensing boards hold each licensee
accountable for providing safe, effective care. Exercising this standard of care requires the
application of knowledge, skills, as well as ethical principles focused on optimum patient care
while taking all appropriate measures to relieve suffering. The healthcare team should give
primary importance to the expressed desires of the patient tempered by the judgment and legal
responsibilities of each licensed health professional as to what is in the patient’s best interest.

5/2010 COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: The taskforce has been created and held its
first meeting on May 18, 2010. The taskforce invited additional comments on the
issue to those present and will table this matter until sufficient time has transpired to
allow for additional comment.
5/2010 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: For information only. No action
necessary at this time.
5/2010 BOARD ACTION: Adopt Committee recommendation.
7/2010 COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: Mrs. Apperson addressed the Committee
regarding the May 18, 2010, taskforce meeting. It was suggested that the
Committee consider adding criteria to the proposed rule in order to specify the
requirements that the Board could consider in determining which certifying boards
would be approved to use the term “Board Certified.” The Committee indicated that
there seemed to be a consensus that a licensee must specify what area they are
board certified in when advertising and identify the certifying Board. This would
prohibit a licensee from advertising as being board certified and the board
certification being in a field unrelated to the one being advertised. Additionally, the
Committee pointed out that reporting board certifications for hospital credentialing
purposes is not advertising. It was suggested that the Committee consider defining
advertising. A representative of the NCMS suggested that the rule might work better
in conjunction with a position statement. Dr. Walker pointed out that the Board
originally had a position statement and the proposed rule was an effort to establish
regulatory authority.
7/2010 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: No action taken.
7/2010 BOARD ACTION: Adopt the Committee recommendation.
July 21-23, 2010
21 NCAC 32Y .0101 is proposed for adoption as follows:
Subchapter 32Y – SPECIALTY AND BOARD CERTIFICATION ADVERTISING
21 NCAC 32Y .0101 ADVERTISING OF SPECIALTY AND BOARD CERTIFICATION

“Board Certified” without proof of current certification by a specialty board approved by (1) the

board or association with an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education approved

or (5) a board or association with equivalent requirements approved by the North Carolina

(b) Any physicians advertising or otherwise holding himself or herself out to the public as “Board

stakeholders regarding the impact of changing the statue will have on the GME programs,
starting with Dr. Gerancher.

King, CPCS, Quanta Williams, Jane Paige, Marcus Jimison, Nancy Hemphill, Katharine Kovacs,
Audrey Tuttle
Open Session Physician Assistants
21 NCAC 32S.0219. Limited Physician Assistant License For Disasters and Emergencies
During the May 2010 Board Meeting, the Board heard comments from PAs at the PA Advisory
Committee and the Allied Health Committee about concerns they had that the rule regarding PA
licensure during a disaster would prevent a PA from being paid even if responding to the
disaster was a requirement of his or her employment. Originally, the Board drafted the attached
rule to prevent gouging and exploitation of patients during a disaster. However, the Board did
not intend PA responders to forego their usual compensation if responding to a disaster was
part of their employment. Marcus Jimison, Nancy Hemphill and the Committee discussed.
Board Action: Adopt proposed changes to Rule 21 NCAC 32S.0219.
21 NCAC 32S.0202. Qualifications and Requirements for License
Immigration Status – Addition to PA Licensure Rule. Nancy Hemphill, Marcus Jimison and the

Welcome and Introductions
July 21-23, 2010
Dr. Loomis opened the meeting with introductions and thanked everyone for coming.
Election of Chair
Dr. Loomis asked for motions for a new chair. Since there were none, Dr. Loomis will continue
on as Chair of the Committee.
Approval of Minutes
A motion passed to accept the minutes of the October 2007 meeting.
Protocol Approval Process
Dr. Hill gave a brief summary of the appearance of and types of protocols that have been
received since 2001 when CPP approval began. He also discussed the current process for
approving CPP protocols and the logic behind changing the approval process. The Board no
longer reviews the protocols for PAs and NPs. This seems to be a natural evolution for the
CPPs as well.
CPP applicants will no longer be required to submit the written agreements between themselves
and their supervising physicians (or protocols) with their applications for review and approval by
the two boards. If an application is approved, a letter will be sent out to each CPP that will
explain the statutory scope of practice for a CPP, that the CPP is encouraged to keep his or her
protocols current, and that practicing outside of the scope of the CPP’s written agreement will
subject the CPP to discipline. CPPs will no longer have to submit Change of Status forms
requesting additional protocols.
There will be a compliance program similar to the one used by the Nurse Practitioner Joint
Subcommittee for compliance reviews of CPP protocols. An investigator from each Board will
work together to conduct compliance reviews of about 5 CPPs per year.
MAD-ID Certification Program
This program is not approved by the North Carolina Center for Pharmaceutical Care (NCCPC)
or the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education (ACPE). Therefore, it does not meet the
requirements stated in the rules for CPP approval. This information will be communicated to the
pharmacist that inquired about this program. The pharmacist may direct her inquiry to the two
credentialing bodies for information about the process by which a program may be approved by
the credentialing body.
Future Meetings
A motion passed that all future agendas be dictated by Dr. Loomis and that Mr. Henderson and
Mr. Campbell will let the Chair know when sufficient need arises for a meeting.
Miscellaneous
Dr. Saunders thanked the Board of Pharmacy for its spirit of collegial cooperation with the
Medical Board.
A motion passed to close the session pursuant to Section 143-318.11(a) of the North Carolina
General Statutes to prevent the disclosure of information that is confidential pursuant to
Sections 90-8, 90-14, 90-16, 90-21.22 of the North Carolina General Statutes and not

review. The Board adopted the Committee’s recommendation to approve the written report.
The specifics of this report are not included because these actions are not public.
