Because of the continuous introduction of new therapeutic and diagnostic agents
and changing concepts in the practice of pharmacy, it is essential that a pharmacist
undertake a program of continuing education to maintain his professional
competency to practice in the public interest.
No pharmacist's license shall be renewed until the license holder is able to submit
written proof to the board that he has satisfactorily completed, in the previous
renewal period, a continuing education program acceptable to the board. Such
continuing education requirements shall be determined by regulation of the board,
and shall include, at least one (1) time every ten (10) years, the course described in
KRS 214.610(1), but they shall not require more than an average of one and onehalf (1-1/2) continuing education units (CEU) per year. The board may in its
discretion require completion of the course described in KRS 214.610(1) more
frequently.
The board shall adopt rules and regulations to carry out the provisions of this
section, to include guidelines and criteria for reviewing and approving continuing
education programs.
