If a pharmacist's license is inactive, are they required to complete continuing education (CE)?

When a pharmacist's license is inactive, they are not required to complete continuing education (CE). This means that while they are not practicing pharmacy and their license is off the active register, they do not have an obligation to fulfill any continuing education requirements. Continuing education is typically mandated for active pharmacists to ensure they stay current with advancements in the field and maintain their competency. However, if a pharmacist is inactive, they are not engaging in the practice of pharmacy and therefore do not need to maintain CE credits during that time.

This understanding aligns with the regulatory framework that governs pharmacist licensure and continuing education requirements, which often stipulate that CE obligations apply only to those actively practicing.
