DE MPJE study guide
DE MPJE · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Delaware Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (DE MPJE) is the jurisprudence component candidates must pass to be licensed as a pharmacist in Delaware. The Delaware Board of Pharmacy, within the Division of Professional Regulation, issues licenses to pharmacists and pharmacy interns and licenses pharmacies, manufacturers, distributors, medical gas dispensers, and retail businesses selling non-controlled prescription drugs for veterinary use. Its statutory authority is 24 Del. The exam tests two bodies of Delaware-specific law: general pharmacy law and controlled substances law, so preparation means studying both the Delaware pharmacy statutes and rules and Delaware's controlled substances provisions rather than relying on federal law alone. The Board publishes MPJE study material on its site, including Delaware law summaries for pharmacy and for controlled substances, alongside the Pharmacy Rules & Regulations and Controlled Substances Rules & Regulations. Candidates should read those materials directly, since the exam is built on Delaware's own requirements, not another state's. Topics on this exam: Delaware Pharmacy Law and Delaware Controlled Substances Law. The DE MPJE study guide has 2 sections and about 872 words.
01Delaware Pharmacy Law
Delaware Pharmacy Law is the Board of Pharmacy domain: licensure, pharmacy permits, prescription validity, labeling, counseling, drug product selection, and records under 24 Del. The exam separates these state practice rules from the controlled-substance rules in the next section. Pharmacists are licensed by the Delaware Board of Pharmacy; a pharmacy must hold a Delaware pharmacy permit. Interns and pharmacy technicians work under Board authorization and pharmacist supervision.
420 words, about 2 min02Delaware Controlled Substances Law
Delaware Controlled Substances Law tests 16 Del. 47 and Office of Controlled Substances rules: registration, scheduling, prescription limits, PMP reporting, security, and loss reporting. Delaware uses the federal schedules but requires a state controlled substance registration (CSR) in addition to DEA registration. A practitioner or pharmacy that handles controlled substances needs both a Delaware CSR and a DEA registration.
