	CONTINUING EDUCATION REPORTING WILL BE DONE DIFFERENTLY THIS YEAR. Instead of having a separate process to report that pharmacists have completed their required continuing education, reporting pharmacists will be asked if they have completed their C.E. with certificates dated between 3/1/2009 and 5/15/2012 when they are renewing their Ohio pharmacist license during the months of July, August, and September 2012. This will be further explained in a letter going out the week of April 9, 2012 to reporting pharmacists. It will again be explained when the actual online renewal notices for Ohio pharmacist licenses are mailed near the end of July. Each pharmacist must renew their Ohio pharmacist license before September 15, 2012. Click here to view letter. The dates on the Certificates of Participation that are valid will be further explained in the letter going out the week of April 9, 2012. Each pharmacist is required to show C.E. obtained between March 1, 2009 and May 15, 2012, as required by 4729-7-02(C), for this reporting cycle for pharmacists with a license number beginning with "033." Pharmacists with license numbers beginning with "033" are required to have completed 6.0 C.E.U.s of continuing education this year. 0.3 C.E.U.s must be Ohio Board of Pharmacy approved jurisprudence programs. Again, these pharmacists will receive a letter from the board being mailed the week of April 9, 2012 with the process to follow. OUT OF STATE PHARMACISTS USING THEIR OUT OF STATE RPH LICENSE TO SATISFY OHIO'S CE REQUIREMENTS: Yes, you must report that you have met the C.E. requirements for the state in which you have a current pharmacist license during the pharmacist license online renewal process.

Pharmacists who ARE REPORTING THEIR C.E. FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR may use certificates of participation dated from the date of first licensure as a pharmacist in Ohio through May 15, 2012. (04/03/12) Pharmacists who RECEIVED THEIR FIRST LICENSE WITH THE OHIO BOARD ON OR AFTER 6/1/2010 are not required to report C.E. this year. These pharmacists will first report C.E. in 2015.
