Continuing-education requirements for Pharmacists in Utah

Per two-year renewal cycle, a pharmacist must complete at least 30 hours of ACPE-approved continuing education. Of these, at least 12 hours must be live or technology-enabled participation (lectures, seminars, workshops), and at least 15 hours must be in specified clinical topics such as disease state management/drug therapy, AIDS therapy, patient safety, or immunizations. At least 1 hour must be in pharmacy law or ethics. Pharmacists who administer vaccines must complete 2 hours of vaccine-related CE (countable toward the 15-hour topic requirement); those administering other prescription drugs/devices must complete 2 hours on that administration. No separate controlled-substance/opioid-specific CE hour count is mandated in R156-17b-309.

Good to know: DOPL website migrated from dopl.utah.gov to commerce.utah.gov/dopl (301 redirects). The $73 renewal fee is from DOPL's official Renewal Cycle Schedule and Fees page (pharmacist line: 09/30/ODD, $73); a pharmacist holding a Controlled Substance license renews that separately. No published flat late/delinquent fee was found on official pages. CE compliance documentation must be retained for 4 years after the renewal cycle, satisfiable via NABP CPE Monitor registration or certificates of completion. CE rule specifics are codified in Utah Admin Code R156-17b-309. Online renewal is via the mylicenseone portal.
