VA MPJE study plan

Map at least 25 commonly dispensed drugs to their controlled-substance schedule under both federal and Virginia law, noting any divergence.

Differentiate federal registration, recordkeeping, and security obligations from Virginia Board of Pharmacy requirements for the same activity.

Locate and outline the governing Virginia statutes and regulations (Code of Virginia pharmacy chapter and the Board's regulations) that control pharmacy permitting, practice, and discipline.

Compare federal versus Virginia prescription and labeling content requirements and flag every point where Virginia is stricter.

Distinguish the credentialing pathways for pharmacist licensure, pharmacy technician registration, pharmacy permit, and controlled-substance registration, including who issues each.

Sequence the steps for obtaining a Virginia pharmacist license by examination and by license transfer/reciprocity, including required documents and timing.

Describe the renewal cycle, continuing education obligation, and lapse/reinstatement consequences for pharmacists and technicians.

Outline grounds for Board discipline, the hearing process, and available sanctions or alternatives to discipline.

Apply Virginia supervision and delegation limits to technician duties across at least 10 practice scenarios.

Apply sterile and nonsterile compounding standards (facility, garb, environmental monitoring, beyond-use dating) to three sample preparations.

Identify required elements of patient counseling, offer-to-counsel documentation, and privacy handling in the dispensing workflow.

Evaluate a mock pharmacy's policy manual against federal and Virginia operational standards and list every deficiency.

Trace a prescription drug through the supply chain, applying federal traceability and licensing-verification duties at each handoff.

Compute and document controlled-substance ordering, receipt, and transfer records, including required forms and storage rules.

Produce a perpetual inventory entry and biennial inventory summary for a sample controlled-substance stock.

Specify record retention periods and storage formats for prescription, purchasing, and inventory records.

Explain handling of recalls, returns, and out-of-date stock without creating a compliance gap.

Validate prescription elements for schedule II through non-controlled drugs and flag every deficiency in a set of 30 mock prescriptions.

Apply refill, partial-fill, emergency-supply, and transfer rules to at least 12 scenario prompts.

Distinguish valid electronic prescribing from noncompliant electronic orders, including exceptions and waiver conditions.

Delineate prescriptive authority, collaborative practice, and pharmacist-initiated therapy boundaries under Virginia law.

Script and rehearse counseling for new prescriptions, high-alert medications, and devices, covering required content points.

Rank a set of medication errors by severity using a recognized taxonomy and identify the system failure behind each.

Describe the reporting pathway and legal protections for medication errors and adverse events in Virginia.

Re-attempt the lowest-scoring Domain 5 items from the mid-point diagnostic and reach 85% on that subset.

Complete 150 mixed-domain practice questions under timed conditions.

Re-teach the two weakest domains by rewriting their key rules from memory and checking against source text.

Resolve every flagged item from the error log so that no domain remains below 70% accuracy.

Build a one-page rapid-recall sheet of high-frequency rules and numbers.

Complete two full-length timed practice exams under test-day conditions.

Review every missed item and confirm the corrected rule is captured on the recall sheet.

Drill the recall sheet daily until each entry is reproduced from memory without prompts.
