Arizona License Renewal: # of CEs required

[PharmGeek]

I believe you need 30 CE hours every 2 years. I was licensed 11 months ago and my pharmacist license will expire at the end of Oct. How many CE hours do I have to complete? Is it pro-rated to 11 months so about 15 hours?

Is there a link where I can find this information? Thank you for your help!

Please note this is my first time renewing my AZ license.

The BOP should be able to answer this question. Email them via the website.

R4-23-204. Continuing Education Requirements

A. General. In accordance with A.R.S. § 32-1925(G), the Board shall not renew a license unless the applicant has, during the two years preceding the application for renewal, participated in 30 contact hours (3.0 CEU's) of continuing education activity sponsored by an Approved Provider as defined in R4-23-110, of which at least three contact hours (0.3 CEU's) are approved courses in pharmacy law. Subject to A.R.S. § 32-1937, a pharmacist licensed for less than 24 months shall obtain continuing education units in an amount determined by multiplying 1.25 hours times the number of months between the date of initial licensure and the next license renewal date.
