Does Illinois have a ratio or limit on the number of technicians a pharmacist is permitted to supervise?

In Illinois, there is no statutory limit or ratio defining the number of pharmacy technicians that a licensed pharmacist may supervise. This allows pharmacists the flexibility to manage staff based on the needs of the pharmacy and the volume of prescriptions being processed.

While there may be recommendations or best practices provided by professional organizations regarding the supervision of technicians for safe and effective pharmacy operations, these do not carry the weight of law. This means that pharmacists in Illinois can make decisions about their supervisory role without being bound to a specific numerical limit, allowing for a tailored approach to staffing that can enhance operational efficiency and patient care.
