Pharmacies are busy, even hectic, workplaces, and like any workplace, there is always the possibility of making a mistake. For pharmacists, however, an error of any size could result in harm to a patient, which would surely be followed by legal action.
Carrying your own liability coverage is particularly important for pharmacists who are independently prescribing in community settings. Consulting pharmacists and pharmacists in academia should also secure their own coverage to protect them from being liable for any errors or misstatements in notes or lectures. Volunteer or contract pharmacists will not be covered by employer insurance policies. Student pharmacists may want to consider special coverage for their time in school as well as their first year on the job.
