The Rhode Island Board of Pharmacy requires pharmacy technicians to complete 10 hours of continuing education (CE) annually, which must be completed by the renewal deadline of June 30. A $25 renewal fee is also required.
For TECH II technicians, as opposed to TECH I, maintaining national certification through either PTCB or ExCPT is mandatory. For detailed information about specific requirements, consult the relevant licensing organization - PTCB website or ExCPT website.
Are there recommended CE Courses for Rhode Island Pharmacy Technicians to meet PTCB CE requirements?
Patient Safety courses like Medication Errors are great for RI Pharmacy Techs because they can help them avoid pervasive issues in the Pharmacy field. Pharmacy law is another popular topic that is often a required CE course topic in other states and by the PTCB. Immunizations can also be a big part of a Pharmacy Tech’s day-to-day responsibilities, therefore our courses on Immunization can be a benefit. We also offer interesting Pharmacy Tech CE courses that explore modern health topics like developments in the opioid crisis - Course: It Is No Longer Just an Opioid Problem - and new developments in pain management to help combat the prevalent pain medication crisis - Course: New Developments in Pain Management. If you’re looking for a specialization, we also have a Compounding Certificate Course. View our entire course list for RI Pharmacy Techs, with breakdowns by category, to find a topic that interests you so you can enjoy your hours of CE - studying a subject that enriches your career.
