Dear NH Licensed Pharmacist: Due to the COVID-19 State of Emergency, and as outlined in Exhibit H to Emergency Order #29, the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC) is waiving Continuing Education (CE) requirements for all OPLC licensees renewing from March 13, 2020 to December 31, 2020. As all NH licensed pharmacists are due to renew by December 31, 2020 – CE requirements are waived for all pharmacists this renewal cycle. Now that pharmacist licenses are on a biennial renewal schedule, you will therefore not be required to submit any CE documentation for calendar years 2019 – 2020 when you complete your online pharmacist renewal this November-December 2020. Pharmacists must again begin earning CE as of January 1, 2021. For other COVID-19 related news and resources, please see the Board’s COVID-19 resource page at: https://www.oplc.nh.gov/pharmacy/covid-19-info.htm
