NEW - PTCB is changing their continuing pharmacy education (CPE) requirements in 2015. Beginning in 2015, PTCB will require CPhTs to earn only pharmacy technician-specific (‘T-specific’) credit to qualify for recertification. However, any Pharmacist or P-specific credit earned by technicians in 2014 will still be accepted for those recertifying in 2015. Beginning January 1, 2015, ALL CPE credit earned must be T-specific. 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 change. 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.
