Notes
From the Board: "The Board may renew the license of the first renewal period following the issuance of the original license without requiring a pharmacist to complete any continuing pharmaceutical education if the pharmacist obtains a license within one year after the completion of the pharmacist's pharmaceutical education."
The State Board accepts educational activities accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) or an approved equivalent, as well as up to 6 hours of pharmacy-related continuing medical education accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).
