Can a license be revoked due to a violation of the Code of Professional Conduct?

A license can indeed be revoked due to a violation of the Code of Professional Conduct. The Code of Professional Conduct establishes standards that govern ethical behavior and practice within the pharmacy profession. Violations of these standards can undermine public trust and safety, which is why regulatory bodies have the authority to impose severe penalties, including revocation of a license.

When a pharmacist or pharmacy technician engages in conduct that violates these established codes, such actions may warrant disciplinary measures based on the severity and impact of the violation. Regulatory boards have the responsibility to ensure that professionals adhere to these codes, thus safeguarding public health and maintaining industry integrity. The capacity for revocation serves as an important deterrent, highlighting the seriousness of adherence to professional conduct guidelines.

In this context, the other options suggest more limited scenarios for revocation—such as only severe violations or repeated offenses— but in reality, the regulatory bodies can take action against any violation deemed significant enough to warrant such a response.
