Sunday Digest: 7/10/2011

So I've found lately that the FDA updates haven't had a lot of interesting material in them lately, but I do get interesting updates all week about all kinds of things, so I'm going to start including some of that in here. The end result (I hope) is that there will be more diversity, interesting and relevant material in the Sunday updates.

Continuing Education: Keeping your Certification

After becoming a certified technician, you must complete continuing education courses to recertify. The PTCB, this most common certification agency, requires 20 hours of approved continuing education, one of which must be in the area of pharmacy law. For technicians still in college, or in a position to easily take college courses, certain science and math courses will count toward up to 15 CE hours every recertification period. Recertification sounds a lot scarier than it actually is, and too many techs make it even worse by waiting until the last minute to collect their CE credits.
