Vermont Pharmacist CE Courses (2026)

What Vermont requires for Pharmacist renewal

A minimum of 30 continuing education credits must be completed in the two years immediately preceding the renewal submission. At least 2 of those credits must cover an opioid/controlled-substance topic (e.g., abuse and diversion, safe use/storage/disposal of controlled substances; appropriate use of the Vermont Prescription Monitoring System; abuse/addiction risk assessment; pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic alternatives to opioids; medication tapering/cessation; or relevant state and federal opioid-prescribing laws). Pharmacists who administer immunizations must additionally complete at least 2 credits related to immunizations and maintain current Basic Cardiac Life Support training.
