Can pharmacists receive an extension for their continuing education requirements?

Pharmacists in Minnesota can indeed receive an extension for their continuing education requirements, specifically for a period of up to one year. This provision recognizes that various circumstances may impact a pharmacist's ability to complete their continuing education on time, such as personal or professional challenges. By allowing a one-year extension, the state ensures that pharmacists can maintain their licensure without compromising their professional standards due to unforeseen difficulties.

Additionally, while there are situations that might allow for extensions under special circumstances, the general practice permits a standardized extension period of one year. This approach helps maintain consistency in the licensing process while accommodating pharmacists' needs. The other options do not align with the provisions established by the licensing board regarding continuing education requirements.
