Fassett’s Washington Pharmacy Law is the complete textbook for pharmacy students and pharmacists regarding the application of state and federal law to the practice of pharmacy in Washington State. The text features an MPJE study guide with a map between the MPJE competencies and the material in the book.
Eight chapters cover all the topics in the MPJE blueprint – each chapter indicates covered blueprint areas – plus considerable additional material applicable to everyday practice in all settings. The text is organized along functional lines, not areas of law. Each chapter deals with federal and state laws and regulations, applicable common law, and applicable court decisions.
