First-Time Requirements

Continuing education requirements are waived for pharmacy technicians renewing a DC registration for the first time. DC Health Board of Pharmacy

As DC transitions all licenses to the birth-month renewal cycle, technicians whose registration term during this transition covers less than two years may satisfy 50% of the standard hour requirement for that one-time renewal. The 2-hour LGBTQ cultural competency and 10%-public-health-priorities requirements still apply in full. DC Health Board of Pharmacy
