Pharmacist continuing education credits for volunteering at free and charitable clinics
Under current law, a licensed pharmacist must renew his or her license every two years. An applicant for renewal of a pharmacist license must submit proof that he or she has completed 30 hours of continuing education within the two-year period immediately preceding the date of his or her application. This bill allows pharmacists to meet up to 10 hours of the continuing education requirement for each two-year period by volunteering at a free and charitable clinic.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 450.085 (3) of the statutes is created to read:
450.085 (3) An applicant for renewal of a license under s. 450.08 (2) (a) may count, for purposes of the continuing education requirement under sub. (1), up to 10 hours spent as a volunteer at a free and charitable clinic approved by the board.
(End)
