Which statement correctly describes continuing education requirements for pharmacists?

• A. It is not required for license renewal
• B. It must be completed entirely in the last year
• C. It must be completed during each 2-year license period
• D. It must be completed every year

Answer: (C)

Continuing education is a required part of maintaining pharmacy licensure, tied to the license renewal cycle. The key point is that the CE must be completed within the two-year license period, not before or after it or on an annual basis. This structure ensures pharmacists stay current throughout each renewal window and can renew only after meeting the period’s requirements.

So the statement that matches how CE works is that it must be completed during each two-year license period. The other options don’t fit because CE isn’t optional for renewal, isn’t restricted to the last year, and isn’t required every single year.
