Continuing Education Requirement

Attention Alaska Pharmacists: When the board evaluated the emergency preparedness regulation last year, the requirement to complete and pass the Multistate Jurisprudence Pharmacy Examination (MPJE) in order to align with the intent of expediting pharmacist licensure in the event of an emergency was eliminated. Prospective pharmacists may apply for a temporary emergency permit. For more information, please visit https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/cbpl/CBPLCOVID-19Information.aspx.
