submit to examination.
(1)When the board has probable cause to believe a pharmacist, pharmacy technician,
licensee, certificate holder, or permit holder is suffering from a mental or physical
condition that might impede that person's ability to practice competently, the board
may order the individual to undergo a mental or physical examination by an
appropriately-trained professional designated by the board.
(2)Failure of a pharmacist, pharmacy technician, licensee, or permit holder to submit to
such an examination when directed, unless the failure was due to circumstances
beyond his or her control, shall constitute an admission that he or she has developed
such a mental or physical disability, or other condition, that continued practice is
dangerous to patients or to the public. Failure to attend the examination shall
constitute a default, and a final order suspending, limiting, restricting, or revoking
the license or permit may be entered without the taking of testimony or presentation
of evidence.
(3)A pharmacist, pharmacy technician, licensee, or permit holder whose license has
been suspended, limited, restricted, or revoked pursuant to this section shall at
reasonable intervals be afforded an opportunity, pursuant to KRS 315.121(4), to
demonstrate that he can resume the competent practice of pharmacy with reasonable
skill and safety to patients.
