Re:    Opinion Request OP-2013-1
Dear Executive Directors:
Among other things, the State Board of Pharmacy (board) is responsible for regulating
the practice of pharmacy in Oregon, which includes issuing licenses to persons to engage in the
practice of pharmacy. ORS 689.151. The board is also responsible for issuing certificates of
registration to drug outlets. ORS 689.305. Pursuant to ORS 689.225(1), physicians, dentists,
veterinarians, osteopaths and other practitioners of the healing arts do not need to obtain a
license to engage in the practice of pharmacy to administer and dispense drugs to their patients if
their own licensing laws authorize them to do so.
The pharmacy, nursing, dentistry, medical, naturopathic, and veterinary boards ask the
following question concerning whether the exemption in ORS 689.225(1) affects the drug outlet
registration requirement in ORS 689.305.
1162 Court Street NE, Salem, OR 97301-4096
Telephone: (503) 947-4342 Fax: (503) 378-3784 TTY: (503) 378-5938 www.doj.state.or.us
