Idaho Pharmacist CE Courses (2026)
To renew your Pharmacist license in Idaho you need to satisfy the Idaho State Board of Pharmacy (administered by the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, DOPL)'s continuing education (CE) requirement . Below is what the board requires and a comparison of course providers that offer qualifying CE. This is an unofficial guide — confirm any course is board-approved before you buy.
What Idaho requires for Pharmacist renewal
| CE hours required | No single fixed hour count — see details |
|---|---|
| Renewal cycle | 24 months |
| CE tracking system | CPE Monitor (NABP) historically used for ACPE credit reporting; current renewal is attestation-based |
| Governing body | Idaho State Board of Pharmacy (administered by the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, DOPL) |
Idaho no longer publishes a fixed per-cycle CPE hour count for routine pharmacist renewal. Under Idaho Code 54-1723C (quoted in DOPL's 2025 licensure-change notice), pharmacists must, at each renewal, attest that they have maintained professional competence through continuing education germane to and commensurate with their active practice setting. (Historically the board rule required roughly 15 ACPE/CPE hours per calendar year, the majority designated "P" for pharmacist with credits reported to NABP CPE Monitor, but the dedicated CE rule page is no longer published on DOPL and the statute now frames the obligation as competence-based attestation.) Separately, pharmacist reinstatement after a lapse requires proof of 30 hours of CE earned within the 24 months prior to the reinstatement application.
