The Board will consider the requirements and qualifications listed in this section and in 535:25-3 at a minimum. Preceptors will be issued identifying certificates by the Board, which must be conspicuously posted in the training area where they practice.

(A)   All preceptors shall successfully complete an examination, prepared by the Board, relating to this Subchapter and pharmacy law and rules. Said examination shall be made a part of the application for certification as a preceptor.
