On June 19 the Governor of Washington state, Jay Inslee, issued a proclamation allowing graduates from approved Schools/Colleges of Pharmacy to register for a 180-day temporary license through PQAC. This proclamation will cover residents coming into Washington state to participate in residency programs. The main purpose of the 180-day temporary license is to provide a bridge between graduation and the time that students are able to take and pass their examinations (given the COVID-related delays for testing).
