Verified against LAC 46:LIII (official Board compilation, October 2025): section 505 - annual renewal due December 31; section 507(C)(1) - 15 hours annually with at least 3 live hours, or 20 hours total if the pharmacist completes no live hours; section 521(A)(4) - a pharmacist who administers medications must complete 1 hour annually on medication administration, counted toward the total; section 2533.C - individuals compounding sterile preparations must complete 1 hour of ACPE or board-approved CE annually related to sterile drug preparation, dispensing, and utilization; section 1907.B - nuclear pharmacists must obtain at least 5 hours of the total required hours of ACPE or board-approved CE on nuclear-pharmacy applications and procedures. The former 2-hour controlled-dangerous-substance category was removed: R.S. 37:978.3 / Act 76 is a Board of Medical Examiners prescriber requirement and no Board of Pharmacy adoption for pharmacists was found. CE is reported through CPE Monitor.
