What is the minimum number of hours required in drug therapy or patient management for pharmacists' CE?

  1. 5 hours

  2. 7.5 hours

  3. 6 hours

  4. 8 hours

The correct answer is: 7.5 hours

The requirement for continuing education (CE) in South Carolina specifically states that pharmacists must complete a minimum of 7.5 hours in drug therapy or patient management every two years. This ensures that pharmacists remain up-to-date with the latest practices and advancements in their field, allowing them to provide the best possible care to their patients. The focus on drug therapy and patient management reflects the critical role pharmacists play in direct patient care and medication management. Other choices do not meet this regulatory requirement, as the minimum is explicitly set at 7.5 hours. A smaller number of hours would not satisfy the continuing education criteria that support the proficiency and competency of pharmacists in their clinical responsibilities.
