From the Iowa Board: "Technicians will need to renew their national certification through NHA or PTCB prior to renewing their Board CPhT registration. When renewing your state registration, the only CEs that are relevant are to those administering immunizations or working in a telepharmacy setting. Questions related to CEs for the renewal of your national certification through NHA or PTCB must be addressed towards the proper national licensing board."
