What Georgia requires for Pharmacist renewal

CE hours required	30 hours per cycle
Renewal cycle	24 months
Governing body	Georgia State Board of Pharmacy

A pharmacist must complete at least 30 hours (3.0 CEUs) of ACPE-approved continuing pharmacy education per two-year biennium (Rule 480-3-.03). Hours are prorated for newly licensed pharmacists: licensed in the first 6 months of the biennium (Jan-Jun) need the full 30 hours; licensed in the next 12 months need 15 hours; licensed in the final 6 months are exempt that biennium. The CPE rule does not mandate specific subject areas such as pharmacy law/jurisprudence, controlled substances/opioids, or patient safety, and does not impose a separate annual minimum or live-CE quota. Credits may not be carried over between licensing periods. Separately, pharmacists who administer vaccines must hold a one-time immunization certification (separate from this biennial CE total). Only pharmacists randomly selected for audit must submit CE proof at renewal; all must retain certificates for two years.
