What is the total CE hours earned by attending a PIC class?

Attending a pharmacy in charge (PIC) class typically earns pharmacists 2 hours of continuing education (CE) credits. This is consistent with the requirements established by the Oregon State Board of Pharmacy to ensure that pharmacy professionals stay current in their knowledge and skills, particularly in regulatory compliance and management practices. The allocation of 2 hours reflects the structured nature of the class, which covers essential content relevant to the responsibilities of a PIC, including oversight of pharmacy operations, quality assurance, and personnel management.

Continuing education is critical for pharmacists to maintain their licensure and stay informed about best practices, new regulations, and updates in the pharmaceutical field. Therefore, the specified amount of CE hours reinforces the importance of this training while ensuring that pharmacists receive appropriate credit for their professional development activities.
