The Fall 2020 Virtual Pharmacy Technician Education Seminar will be SUNDAY, September 13 in an online, on-demand format. Hosted by the Ohio Pharmacists Foundation (OPF), the seminar will offer 6 hours (0.6 CEU) of continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credit for technicians, including one hour of pharmacy law and one hour of patient/medication safety. OPF is an ACPE-accredited provider and this CE credit can be used by certified pharmacy technicians who need to maintain a pharmacy technician certification (ExCPT or PTCB), as well as Ohio registered pharmacy technicians for their registration renewal which has been extended to December 1, 2020.
Ohio’s certified pharmacy technician registration renewal will begin in August 2020. As part of the renewal process and as a condition of maintaining a valid Ohio registration, a certified pharmacy technician is required to maintain a pharmacy technician certification (ExCPT or PTCB). Currently, technicians certified by PTCB or ExCPT exams must complete 20 hours of continuing education every two years, including one hour each of law and patient/medication safety.
This seminar is designed to meet the educational needs of pharmacy technicians and offers up to 6 contact hours (0.6 CEU) of CE credit for technicians. Topics include pharmacy law, patient/medication safety, asthma, COVID-19 pandemic, new drug update, and e-cigarette impact. This is a great opportunity to learn about the most recent information and network with other pharmacy technicians from across the state.
