Oregon Pharmacist CE

Standard Renewal Requirements

Every Oregon pharmacist must complete 30 hours of continuing pharmacy education (CPE) during each 2-year renewal cycle (July 1 through June 30), to satisfy Oregon pharmacist license renewal. Oregon sets no live-instruction minimum, so all 29 hours may be completed through home study or online courses through an accredited package like Oregon Pharmacy CE Package . Within the 30 hours, Oregon pharmacists must complete 2 hours of pharmacy law CE , 2 hours of patient safety or medication error prevention CE , 2 hours of cultural competency CE , and 1 hour of pain management CE provided by the Oregon Pain Management Commission, every renewal cycle. CPE earned in excess of the 30-hour requirement may not be carried forward to the next cycle. Oregon pharmacist licenses expire on the same statewide date, June 30 of every odd-numbered year, for every pharmacist regardless of when they were originally licensed.

Verification and Reporting

Oregon pharmacists must retain documentation of completed CPE for 6 years and produce it if the Board requests it as part of a renewal audit; failing to provide requested documentation or to complete the biennial requirement may result in discipline for unprofessional conduct. Pharmacists completing ACPE-accredited CE must register with NABP’s CPE Monitor for tracking; Board-approved non-ACPE CE may instead be uploaded directly to the licensee’s own electronic licensing record. Oregon does not use CE Broker. Or. Admin. R. 855-135-0050 , Or. Admin. R. 855-135-0090, Audits

AchieveCE is an ACPE-accredited provider and reports your completed hours directly to CPE Monitor and stores your certificates of completion, so your record is both filed with NABP and backed up if you are ever audited.
