  • Legislative Testimony
    kQ UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I SYSTEM Legislative Testimony Testimony Presented Before the House Committees on Health and Intrastate Commerce Tuesday, February 5, 2019 at 8:30 a.m. by Marcia Sakai Interim Chancellor and Carolyn Ma, Pharm D, BCOP Dean Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy (DKICP) University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo HB 900 – RELATING TO VACCINATIONS Chairs Mizuno and Ohno, Vice Chairs Bertrand Kobayashi and Dale Kobayashi, and members of the committees: My name is Carolyn Ma, and I am the Dean for the UH Hilo Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy (DKICP). The DKICP fully supports this bill that will allow registered pharmacists trained and certified in vaccine administration to administer vaccines to 11- 17 year old patients. The bill also specifies requirements pharmacists must meet prior to administering any vaccine to a person between these ages. Pertinent to this bill, the DKICP, via the certified American Pharmacists Association (APHA) course, provides training in immunization administration in the first professional year and all students become certified immunizers. Student pharmacists apply these skills in their experiential rotation courses and in numerous community health screening and immunization events held throughout the remaining three years of training. These activities are essential for our graduates to master the skill of immunizations and are more than proficient upon graduation. Additionally, our didactic curriculum addresses specialty areas of infectious diseases, geriatrics and pediatrics, communications and health management. The four-year professional Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum also emphasizes medication assessment and therapeutic recommendations via related laboratory tests and subjective/objective findings related to disease and drug therapy.

  • Testimony of the Board of Dentistry Before the House Committee on Intrastate Commerce Tuesday, March 12, 2019 10:00 A.M. State
    Testimony of the Board of Dentistry Before the House Committee on Intrastate Commerce Tuesday, March 12, 2019 10:00 a.m. State Capitol, Conference Room 430 On the following measure: S.B. 774, S.D. 1, RELATING TO PROFESSIONAL AND VOCATIONAL LICENSING Chair Ohno and Members of the Committee: My name is Paul Guevara, D.M.D., M.D.S., and I am the Chairperson of the Board of Dentistry (Board). The Board has not had an opportunity to review this bill but will do so at its publicly noticed meeting on March 11, 2019. The Board will provide its position at a subsequent hearing, should the Committee pass this measure. The purposes of this bill are to: (1) prohibit a licensing authority from using rules to supersede requirements set forth in licensing laws; (2) prohibit a licensing authority from adopting rules that authorize an unlicensed individual to perform duties, activities, or functions that, if performed by another professional, would require licensure of that professional; and (3) exempt persons working toward licensure, including, but not limited to, apprentices, trainees, graduates, or students and personnel who are under the supervision of a licensee and not otherwise required to obtain a license, except for auxiliary personnel regulated under Hawaii Revised Statutes chapter 448 (Dentistry). The Board notes that 4000+ dental assistants are currently employed by dentists as auxiliary personnel in the State, and there is no need to differentiate these professionals as set forth in S.D. 1. Thank you for the opportunity to testify on this bill. House Committee on Intrastate Commerce March 11, 2019 Testimony in Support of SB 774 RELATING TO PROFESSIONAL AND VOCATIONAL LICENSING Dear Respected Members of the House Committee on Intrastate Commerce: The Hawaii Dental Hygienists’ Association (HDHA) supports SB 774 SD1 We would like to congratulate you on your leadership in initiating this important discussion during this legislative session to aid in increasing public safety.
