How many continuing education hours does a Rhode Island pharmacist need annually, and how many must be live?

  1. 10 CE hrs, 3 live

  2. 15 CE hrs, 5 live

  3. 20 CE hrs, 8 live

  4. 30 CE hrs, 10 live

The correct answer is: 15 CE hrs, 5 live

In Rhode Island, pharmacists are required to complete a total of 15 continuing education hours annually, of which at least 5 must be obtained through live presentations. This requirement is in place to ensure that pharmacists stay current with the latest developments in the field of pharmacy and maintain their professional competence. Continuing education is vital for pharmacists as it allows them to expand their knowledge and keep up with changes in medication therapy, regulations, and practice standards. Live presentations are particularly emphasized in the requirement because they often provide interactive learning experiences, opportunities for immediate feedback, and a chance to engage with peers and experts in the field. The other options propose varying numbers of CE hours and live hours that do not align with the established requirement for pharmacists in Rhode Island. Thus, the choice of 15 continuing education hours with at least 5 being live is the correct answer for ensuring compliance with state regulations.
