Pharmacists must complete 30 hours of continuing education every two years, except for which cycle?

Continued professional education (CE) is used to maintain competency, with a standard requirement that pharmacists complete 30 hours every two years by license renewal. The special point here is that new licensees are exempt from CE during their first renewal cycle after licensure. After that initial period, the full 30 hours per two-year renewal applies. So, the cycle that does not require CE is the first renewal cycle, while subsequent cycles do require the 30 hours.
