What CE requirements apply to a pharmacist licensed in another state who receives reciprocity?

A pharmacist who receives reciprocal licensure in Indiana is required to meet the Continuing Education (CE) requirements for the remainder of the biennium. This involves completing 1.25 hours per month. Given that the biennium is typically two years in duration, this totals to the necessary hours that ensure the pharmacist remains knowledgeable about current practices and standards in the profession.

This requirement is in place to ensure that pharmacists maintain their competency and stay updated with any changes in laws, practices, or pharmacological advancements, which are essential for providing safe and effective patient care. Therefore, after obtaining licensure through reciprocity, the pharmacist would have to adjust their CE activities to align with these ongoing learning requirements for the rest of the current biennium.
