Record Group History: In 1920, the Board of Pharmacy was created by Legislative action. The seven members who make up the Board of Pharmacy are appointed by the governor. The members of the board self-elect an executive director. This board oversees the regulation of the pharmaceutical industry and practices of the profession within the states as well as the distribution of prescription drugs within Mississippi. The board was formed for the important function of legitimizing the pharmaceutical industry and regulating the profession to avoid abuse and to protect citizens from being taken advantage of by unqualified individuals.
