How many continuing professional education hours are required for a pharmacist licensed for the first time in Indiana by transfer on August 1, 2019?

In Indiana, pharmacists are required to complete a certain number of continuing professional education (CPE) hours to maintain their licensure. For new pharmacists who are licensed for the first time—regardless of whether they are newly graduated or transferring an out-of-state license—there is a specific CPE requirement that reflects their recent entry into the practice.

For someone who became licensed for the first time by transferring their license in August 2019, they would need to complete 30 hours of CPE within the first two years of their licensure. This requirement ensures that all active pharmacists maintain their competency and stay updated on evolving practices within the profession.

While other options reflect different potential CPE hour requirements, the correct total aligns with the established criteria set forth for newly licensed pharmacists, thus making 30 hours the required amount in this context.
