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.
- The Law, Courts, and Laws
- Becoming a Pharmacist, Intern, or Pharmacy Technician or Assistant

2019 Edition taken out of print; 2020 Edition Due Soon
The Washington Pharmacy Quality Assurance Commission has promulgated new rules that take effect on July 1, which may be found in WAC 246-945 and on the Commission's Implementation Plan. The December 2019 edition is no longer being published but a 2020 edition will be published soon.
How to order:
Watch for the 2020 edition on Amazon.com or other retailers.
Because of changes in how Washington handles sales tax on internet sales, I am no longer selling the textbook directly from this website.
