(1) 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.
(2) 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, but they shall not require more than an average of one and one-half (1-1/2) continuing education units (CEU) per year.
(3) 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.
