A PIC may supervise up to how many pharmacies, as long as they are within what distance?

Understanding supervision rules: a Pharmacist-In-Charge can oversee more than one pharmacy only if the locations are close enough to travel between. The limit is two pharmacies, and they must be within 50 driving miles of each other. This ensures the PIC can reasonably supervise operations, address issues, and maintain compliance across both sites. In practice, if two pharmacies are within 50 driving miles, one PIC can oversee both. If a third pharmacy falls within that same proximity, you’d need an additional PIC or adjust the setup, since one PIC isn’t allowed to supervise more than two locations. If the distance between sites exceeds 50 driving miles, using the same PIC for multiple locations isn’t permitted, and separate PICs would be required. Driving miles refer to the actual driving distance between the pharmacies, based on typical routes, not straight-line distance.
