NEW - Pharmacy Technicians may attend Pharmacist (P-specific) programs for credit through 2014. However PTCB is changing their continuing pharmacy education requirements in 2015. Beginning in 2015, PTCB will require CPhTs to submit 20 hours of pharmacy technician-specific (‘T-specific’) continuing pharmacy education (CPE) to qualify for recertification. Pharmacy technicians will no long be able to use Pharmacist only or P-specific CPE. In addition, PTCB will reduce the number of allowable CPE hours earned through in-service training from 10 to 5. Please advise all pharmacy technicians at your site of this pending change. As an ACPE accredited provider, ICHP will continue to include Technician specific programming in most of our CPE programming. CPE Monitor: When registering for this program, you will be required to provide your NABP e-Provile ID # and Birthday. Beginning in 2013, this information will be required by any participants seeking CPE credit.
