Important Information
- Pharmacy Tech Topics™ is designed to provide CPhTs with four modules of home-study CE. Upon successful completion of each module's post-test (70% or better), 2.5 hours of PTCB approved CE credit will be awarded with a certificate. Modules are published or placed online quarterly in January, April, July and October. Each one-year CE subscription supplies at least 10 hours of CE credit.

Subscribers have up to two years from the date of publication to complete each module for CE credit. Each module will contain approximately 28 pages of written continuing education with learning objectives and references, a post-test, and a program evaluation.
