The Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy today voted to send the case of a convicted pharmacist to the agency's prosecution unit to determine whether disciplinary action is warranted.
The vote comes after attempts to reach a settlement agreement with Kathy S. Chin failed.
The board had proposed an agreement under which Chin would retain her pharmacist license but with restrictions.
Chin was convicted in federal court in 2019 on four felony counts of violating the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act. She was one of 14 persons connected to the New England Compounding Center who were indicted in 2014 following a two year probe of a deadly fungal meningitis outbreak.
According to state records Chin has a currently valid pharmacist license. She was sentenced to two years probation following conviction on the federal charges.
