All hours worked when the intern is in regular attendance at an accredited school of pharmacy and during vacation time and other times when the intern is enrolled but not in regular attendance at an accredited school of pharmacy may be counted as qualified hours.

This certified record of internship time should be sent to the office of the Executive Secretary at least quarterly in order that a current file may be maintained. Interns should also keep a copy of every affidavit. All affidavits which are to be submitted are the responsibility of the intern and not the preceptor.
Technician Registration	In 2003 the legislature enacted a law requiring the Board of Pharmacy to register all pharmacy technicians. If you are working as a pharmacy technician you need to be registered with the Board. The application can be found on the Board website at http://www.kansas.gov/pharmacy/applications.html . It is under the link Applications and Forms and is titled Technician Application and Instructions. You only need to register once regardless of how many pharmacies you work for or whether you change jobs. You will keep the same registration number forever. If you have your registration card and you begin working for another pharmacy let them see your registration number so that they do not have you fill out another application or take the test again. The cost of registration is $25.00. Every two years you will renew your Board of Pharmacy registration. This form is not on the Board website. You do not need to take a test to renew. You will receive a renewal in the mail at your home address so it is important that you always let the Board of Pharmacy know if you move. If your registration number ends in an even number you will renew on even years. If your registration ends in an odd number you will renew on odd years. The Board will only send out renewals to those persons who are up for renewal. If you were to receive a renewal and you do not get it then you may contact the Board office but check to make sure that your license registration is odd or even before you call. You will not receive a renewal if it is not your year to renew. The renewal is $25.00. The form is not the same as the original application so please do not fill out an application if you are renewing. The renewal form is not on the internet.
