Under what circumstance could an intern license be automatically terminated?

An intern license can be automatically terminated if the individual does not maintain active registration in a pharmacy degree program for over a year. This requirement ensures that pharmacy interns remain engaged in their educational training, which is critical for their professional development and understanding of pharmacy practice.

When a student loses their status as an active registrant, it indicates they are no longer pursuing their studies in pharmacy, thus removing the basis for their intern license. Maintaining an active registration demonstrates ongoing commitment to the required educational pathway. This stipulation helps regulate the quality and preparedness of future pharmacists entering the profession.

Other circumstances, such as failing a pharmacy exam, changing residency states, or graduating, do not directly result in the automatic termination of an intern license as they involve different regulatory frameworks or conditions that do not lead to an immediate loss of intern status.
