Continuing-education requirements for Pharmacists in Indiana

Pharmacists must complete 30 hours (3 CEUs) of continuing education each biennium prior to renewal. At least half (15 hours) must come from ACPE-approved sponsors. At least four-fifths of the hours must be pharmacy-practice related, and no more than one-fifth may be business, management, or computer courses. Indiana does not mandate specific topic content such as pharmacy law/jurisprudence, controlled-substance/opioid education, immunization, or patient safety. The CE biennium runs from January 1 of an even-numbered year through December 31 of the following odd-numbered year. Certificates are not submitted at renewal but must be retained (about 3 years) for random board audits.

Good to know: Renewal cycle and the June 30 even-year expiration are confirmed on the official in.gov PLA pharmacy licensing page; CE hour breakdown is from the codified rule 856 IAC 1-26-1. Note the CE biennium (Jan 1 even year through Dec 31 of following odd year) is offset from the license renewal date (June 30 even years). The $160 fee applies to active renewal; $260 is cited for reinstatement of licenses expired over 3 years. No NABP CPE Monitor mandate found in the official Indiana sources reviewed; pharmacists self-retain CE certificates for random audits. Inactive-status pharmacists renew at the same $160 fee without completing CE.
