What are some tips for producing the digital evidence?
Digital evidence (photos/videos) is required to show that your pharmacy has met all the physical requirements and that they adhere to the PODSA bylaws. Photos should be taken from a few different angles/distances to provide context. A close-up photo of a physical requirement may not be sufficient; therefore you may need to step back 5-6 feet in order to put the physical requirement in context of its surroundings.
Delays in approving digital evidence are usually due to the following:
- Digital evidence was not provided for all physical requirements
- Context was not provided and the College cannot confirm compliance
- A physical requirement does not meet all descriptive requirements outlined in the PODSA bylaws
Appendix B in the Pharmacy Licensure Guide provides recommended content for digital evidence. If completing a New Pharmacy application or Change of Location application, you must provide digital evidence for all items. If you are submitting a Change of Layout application, complete up to the Security section only.
