Michigan Pharmacist CE

Standard Renewal Requirements

Every Michigan pharmacist must complete 30 hours of Board-approved continuing education every 2-year renewal period, including at least 10 hours earned live (in-person or synchronous virtual), at least 1 hour in pharmacy ethics and pharmacy law , and at least 1 hour in pain and symptom management , with no more than 12 hours counted per 24-hour period, to satisfy Michigan pharmacist license renewal. Remaining 20 hours may be completed through home study or online courses with an accredited package like Michigan Pharmacist CE Package. Michigan pharmacist licenses renew every 2 years on the individual pharmacist’s own license issue date rather than a shared statewide date.

First-Time Requirements

The 30-hour continuing education requirement applies only to a pharmacist who has held an active license for the full 2-year period immediately preceding the end of that license cycle, effectively exempting a pharmacist’s first renewal. Mich. Admin. Code R 338.3042

All pharmacists must also complete a separate one-time human trafficking awareness training , independent of the 30-hour continuing education total. Mich. Admin. Code R 338.3042
