Pharmacy Law and Ethics
One hour of Ethics and Jurisprudence is required for licensure for anyone who is renewing their license this year. The new Pharmacy General rules that went into effect in December 2020 state “(i) An applicant for license renewal shall complete at least 1 hour of the 30 required hours of continuing education in pharmacy ethics and jurisprudence”. This applies to renewals after Dec. 30, 2020.
MPA will offers live Law and Ethics continuing education courses throughout the year. Please check our Events and Education calendar for more details.
Description:
It is important for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to always uphold their professional integrity and aim to provide the best service to their patients. This entails keeping abreast of new information that can influence their choice and, when appropriate, making use of the public’s trust in the pharmacy profession to advance public health. A road map for an ethical decision-making process has been supplied by our courses, which meet the Ethics and Jurisprudence requirements set forth by the State of Michigan.
