True or False: Excess continuing education (CE) hours can carry over for one year for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only for pharmacists

  4. Only for pharmacy technicians

The correct answer is: True

The statement is true because in South Carolina, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are allowed to carry over excess continuing education (CE) hours for one year. This flexibility is designed to help licensed professionals maintain their education requirements more efficiently. Should a pharmacist or pharmacy technician complete more CE hours than required in a reporting period, they can apply those extra hours toward the following year’s requirement. This provision ensures that pharmacy professionals can fulfill their educational obligations without losing the value of the additional training they acquire. Understanding this carryover policy is vital for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians as it allows better planning of their continuing education, especially when they might have varying availability to meet the required CE hours each year.
