Health occupations: pharmacists; continuing education requirements for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians; modify. Amends sec. 17731 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.17731).
HB 4932 modifies Michigan's continuing education requirements for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians renewing their licenses. It adds a new requirement that 100% of the continuing education hours must include pain and symptom management content, as specified by the department. The bill also allows all continuing education to be completed online or electronically through department-approved programs. This applies directly to licensed pharmacists and pharmacy technicians seeking license renewal in Michigan, without changing the existing hour requirements (30 hours for pharmacists, 20 hours for technicians).
