Required categories

Pain management, opioid use and addiction — 2 hours required for APRNs who hold an active DEA registration and prescribe, administer, or dispense controlled substances (per 12 AAC 44.440(g))
2h
Advanced pharmacology/pharmacotherapeutics and clinical management of drug therapy — 15 hours per renewal cycle (APRN with prescriptive authority, per 12 AAC 44.440(f))
15h

Current Board renewal/application materials and 12 AAC 44.440 require 15 pharmacology hours for APRNs with prescriptive authority; a 2018 Board CE guideline described 24 hours (12 advanced pharmacotherapeutics + 12 clinical management) — the newer codified 15-hour figure controls. The 15 hours may count toward the 30-contact-hour RN continuing-competency requirement (or serve as one of the two accepted continuing-competency methods). National certification must be maintained.
