Confirmation of Dr. Miles will ensure continuity in leadership on the Board of Pharmacy, which is responsible for regulating pharmacy practices and promoting public health and safety in the management of medications. His experience, including his clinical work and involvement in various pharmacy-related initiatives, supports the goal of maintaining high standards within the pharmacy profession in Washington, D.C.

Summary

PR25-0725, known as the Board of Pharmacy Benjamin Miles Confirmation Resolution of 2024, seeks to confirm the reappointment of Dr. Benjamin Miles to the Board of Pharmacy in the District of Columbia. This resolution was introduced by the Mayor and calls for the Council of the District of Columbia to formally approve Dr. Miles' continued service in this role for another term, which is set to expire on March 12, 2027.
