This executive order allows pharmacy students to join the fight against COVID-19.

(Indianapolis, Ind.) - Yesterday, an executive order was signed by Indiana Governor Holcomb to allow pharmacy students who have successfully completed all required course work to join the fight against COVID-19.

In addition to obtaining a temporary license, this executive order says that health care providers who cannot meet in-person to continue education requirements this year can do so via distance learning.
