Ce requirements for ny pharmacist

The Department may grant an adjustment (not an exemption) to the requirement for poor health, certified by a physician; a specific physical or mental disability, certified by an appropriate health care professional; extended duty with the armed forces; or for extreme hardship which, in the Department's judgment, makes it impossible for the licensee to comply. To make such a request, complete and submit the Pharmacy REGISTRATION REMITTANCE ADDENDUM.

A licensee who admits to noncompliance with the continuing education requirements when registering may request and may be granted a one-year conditional registration by the Education Department. Conditional registrations are not automatic and cannot be renewed or extended. Conditional registrations have specific requirements including your agreement to: (1) complete the hours required of your previous registration, (2) complete the regular continuing education requirement at a rate of 1.25 contact hours per month during the conditional registration period, (3) complete additional continuing education which the Department may require to ensure the proper delivery of pharmaceutical care consistent with your practice of pharmacy, (4) pay the regular registration fee indicated on your registration form, (5) complete and submit the Pharmacy REGISTRATION REMITTANCE ADDENDUM, and (6) at the end of the conditional registration, provide proof of course completion and pay an additional registration fee equal to the fee paid when the conditional was requested.

29. What if I do not meet the continuing education requirement and simply do not renew my registration?

This is acceptable as long as you are not practicing your profession in New York State. Your status will remain "not registered" until you meet the continuing education requirement and submit a registration renewal application with the appropriate fee. If you practice your profession while unregistered or after the Department has denied renewal of your registration for failure to report completion of the required contact hours of continuing education, you are subject to disciplinary proceedings for professional misconduct.
