Continuing-education requirements for Pharmacists in Delaware

Active pharmacists must complete 30 hours (3.0 CEUs) of ACPE-approved continuing education per biennial cycle (Oct 1 to Sept 30 of even years). Required within that total: at least 2 hours in medication safety/errors; at least 2 hours in controlled-substance distribution/dispensing/delivery or in detecting/recognizing impairment, dependency, or substance-abuse behavior; and, for pharmacists who are authorized Immunizing Pharmacists, at least 2 hours in administering injectable medications and adult/biological immunizations. No general annual minimum and no mandatory live-CE requirement are specified; home study is acceptable. For a first renewal period, CE is prorated at 1.25 hours per month between initial licensure and the biennial renewal date. The state requirements do not single out a separate pharmacy-law/jurisprudence CE topic.

How to renew your Pharmacist license in Delaware

Confirm your renewal deadline and current status on the Delaware Board of Pharmacy (Division of Professional Regulation) portal.
Complete the required 30 CE hours and confirm they appear in NABP CPE Monitor (CPE Monitor Log uploaded in DELPROS for ACPE-approved courses during audits).
Submit the renewal application and pay the current fee online.
Keep proof of CE and your renewal confirmation for your records.

Good to know: Renewal is processed online through DELPROS, where the licensee attests to completing required CE. Delaware does not publish a fixed dollar pharmacist renewal fee in advance — the renewal amount is disclosed at the time of renewal — so renewal_fee_usd is null. The late fee is defined as 50% of the renewal fee rather than a fixed dollar figure, so late_fee_usd is null (the published pharmacist initial application fee is $226, which is not the renewal fee). Reactivation of an inactive license requires proof of 30 CE hours per biennial period. CE rules are detailed in the Board Rules and Regulations (24 Del. Admin. Code 2500).
