DE MPJE · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Delaware Pharmacy Law

  • Map the Delaware Board of Pharmacy's statutory and regulatory structure, distinguishing which requirements come from the Delaware Code (Title 24, Chapter 25) versus Board regulations, and record the citation for each rule you list.

  • Define the Delaware licensure pathways for pharmacists, pharmacy interns, and pharmacy technicians, including application prerequisites, examination requirements, and renewal cycles, and note where the pathways differ from each other.

  • Identify the composition, appointment, and authority of the Delaware Board of Pharmacy, plus the grounds and process for disciplinary action against a licensee.

  • Build a one-page citation index that links each major licensure and discipline rule to its statutory or regulatory source so you can retrieve it quickly during practice questions.

Your checkpoint

A citation-indexed outline of Delaware licensure, Board authority, and discipline covering at least 15 distinct rules, each with its source citation.

Week 2

Delaware Pharmacy Law

  • Differentiate the Delaware requirements for opening, relocating, transferring ownership of, and closing a pharmacy, including notification timelines and inspection triggers.

  • Specify the physical, security, and recordkeeping standards a Delaware pharmacy must meet, and explain how those standards apply to a pharmacy's prescription files and retention periods.

  • Describe the rules governing pharmacy interns and technicians in practice, including supervision ratios, permitted tasks, and delegated authority limits.

  • Compare Delaware's rules on prescription transfer, refill authorization, and labeling against the workflow of a typical dispensing pharmacy, and flag the points where a technician's role changes.

Your checkpoint

A dispensing-workflow checklist that names, for each step from intake to dispense, the Delaware rule that governs it and who may legally perform it.

Week 3

Delaware Pharmacy Law

  • Explain Delaware's requirements for prescription validity, including what elements a prescription must contain, how oral prescriptions are handled, and when a pharmacist may refuse to fill.

  • Outline Delaware's rules on patient counseling, prescription labeling, and the provision of drug information, and identify which obligations fall on the pharmacist versus support staff.

  • Summarize Delaware's approach to collaborative practice agreements, protocol-based dispensing, and pharmacist-administered immunizations, including any certification or reporting conditions.

  • Draft a short set of self-test questions on prescription validity and counseling, then answer them without notes and score yourself.

Your checkpoint

A scored self-quiz of at least 20 original questions on prescription validity, labeling, counseling, and immunization authority, with a written explanation of every missed item.

Week 4

Delaware Pharmacy Law

  • Describe Delaware's drug distribution safeguards, including requirements for returns, recalls, out-of-date stock, and the handling of prescription drugs that leave the pharmacy's control.

  • Identify the reporting duties a Delaware pharmacy owes to the Board and other state agencies, including theft or significant loss reporting and error or adverse-event obligations.

  • Explain Delaware's rules on advertising, price disclosure, and patient records access, and note which practices are expressly prohibited.

  • Consolidate weeks 1 through 4 into a single reference sheet organized by scenario rather than by statute number.

Your checkpoint

A scenario-indexed reference sheet covering at least 12 situations (for example, recalled stock, lost controlled substances, transferred prescription, technician error) with the correct Delaware action and source for each.

Week 5

Delaware Controlled Substances Law

  • Map Delaware's controlled substances scheduling framework to the federal schedules, and identify where Delaware imposes stricter controls or different scheduling outcomes.

  • Explain Delaware's registration and licensure requirements for entities and individuals that handle controlled substances, including renewal, modification, and surrender of registration.

  • Describe the requirements for a valid controlled substance prescription in Delaware, including who may prescribe, permissible refills, quantity limits, and the handling of oral and emergency prescriptions.

  • Outline Delaware's prescription monitoring program obligations, specifying who must query the program, when a query is required, and what must be reported and on what timeline.

Your checkpoint

A controlled substances prescription-validity flowchart with at least 10 decision points, each annotated with the Delaware requirement that drives the branch.

Week 6

Delaware Controlled Substances Law

  • Specify Delaware's physical security, storage, and inventory requirements for controlled substances, including initial, biennial, and change-of-status inventories and the records that must be retained.

  • Explain Delaware's ordering and distribution channels for controlled substances, including the role of the wholesale distributor and the documentation required at each transfer.

  • Describe the process and documentation for handling controlled substance losses, thefts, breakage, and returns, and identify the agencies that must be notified.

  • Differentiate the recordkeeping and reporting standards for Schedule II substances from those for Schedules III through V in Delaware practice.

Your checkpoint

A two-column comparison table of Schedule II versus Schedule III-V handling in Delaware covering inventory, records, refills, and reporting, with at least 8 rows and a citation per row.

Week 7

Delaware Pharmacy Law & Delaware Controlled Substances Law

  • Integrate the general pharmacy practice rules from Domain 1 with the controlled substance rules from Domain 2 by working through at least 40 mixed practice questions under timed conditions.

  • Diagnose your three weakest subtopics from the timed set and rewrite the governing rule for each in your own words without looking at your notes.

  • Resolve every question you missed by locating the controlling Delaware statute or regulation, and record the citation alongside a one-sentence rationale.

  • Rehearse the practical scenarios most likely to appear, such as a forged prescription, a partial fill, a mid-cycle ownership change, and a technician handling a controlled substance order.

Your checkpoint

A timed 40-question mixed practice set with a scored results log, a citation for every missed item, and a ranked list of your three weakest subtopics.

Week 8

Delaware Pharmacy Law & Delaware Controlled Substances Law

  • Complete two full-length timed practice exams that mirror the 50/50 domain split, and record your score and pacing for each.

  • Close your remaining knowledge gaps by re-reading only the rules tied to missed items, then re-test those items after a 48-hour delay.

  • Condense all prior deliverables into a single final review sheet limited to the facts you have repeatedly missed.

  • Verify that your final sheet is current against the Delaware Code and Board regulations, and mark any rule you could not confirm for further checking before test day.

Your checkpoint

Two completed timed practice exams with scores, a final condensed review sheet of no more than three pages, and a list of any rules still marked unverified.

Milestones

Week 2: You can state, without notes, the Delaware licensure and renewal requirements for pharmacists, interns, and technicians, and describe the Board's disciplinary authority.

Week 4: You score at least 75 percent on a self-made 30-question Domain 1 quiz and can cite a source for every answer.

Week 6: You can walk through a controlled substance prescription from receipt to dispensing, naming the Delaware requirement at each step, and explain the state PMP query and reporting duties.

Week 8: You score at least 75 percent on both full-length timed practice exams and have a written citation for every missed item across the eight weeks.
