Which of the following is a requirement for dispensing emergency contraception in Massachusetts?

Dispensing emergency contraception in Massachusetts has specific requirements to ensure that pharmacists are adequately prepared to provide this service safely and effectively. One of these essential requirements is the completion of a training program. This training equips pharmacists with the necessary knowledge and skills to counsel patients appropriately about emergency contraception, including mechanisms of action, usage instructions, and potential side effects.

While obtaining patient identification, reporting adverse effects to the Board, and consulting with a physician may be relevant in different contexts within pharmacy practice, they are not mandated requirements specifically for dispensing emergency contraception. The training program specifically focuses on the unique aspects of emergency contraception and prepares the pharmacist to handle patient inquiries confidently and competently.
