CE tracking for pharmacists
New Jersey pharmacist CE requirements
30 hours every 2 years (15 hr/yr). 10 live hours required. Below: the exact topic breakdown, where to report, and how Vigilis matches your hours against the rule automatically.
New Jersey CE topic requirements
| Topic | Hours | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Immunization | 2 hr | if immunizing |
| Opioid / controlled substances | 1 hr | prescription opioids/alternatives/risks |
| Pharmacy law / jurisprudence | 3 hr | NJ-specific pharmacy law |
Where to track and report your hours
ACPE-accredited CE is reported automatically by the provider to NABP CPE Monitor. Most state boards pull from CPE Monitor at renewal, but you still need to know your exact hours against the rule — which is where most pharmacists get caught short.
Vigilis imports your full CPE Monitor transcript with one click, matches each activity against New Jersey's topic rules, and shows exactly what's short before your renewal closes.
