Pharmacist FAQsChanges to Renewal Process for Clinical Pharmacist Practitioners Q. Now that the Board of Pharmacy is responsible for administering renewals of the CPP credential, what changes will occur? A. CPPs are aware, of course, that CPP credential renewals through the Medical Board were keyed to the CPP’s birthday. The amended rule now provides that – consistent with all other licenses, permits, and registrations issued by the Pharmacy Board – “[e]ach CPP shall register annually on or before December 31.” To facilitate this transition in renewal dates, any pharmacist holding a current CPP credential as of July 1, 2016 shall be deemed to hold a current CPP credential (for both renewal fee and continuing education requirements) through December 31, 2017. Likewise, any pharmacist who newly acquires a CPP credential between July 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016 shall be deemed to hold a current CPP credential (for both renewal fee and continuing education requirements) through December 31, 2017. This “extension” of the CPP credential is intended to fairly transition all CPPs onto an annual renewal cycle that coincides with all other Pharmacy Board renewals. Board staff will implement an CPP credential on-line renewal process prior to the 2017 renewal period. More information will follow as that process is developed.
