pharmacist license renewal application available to all currently licensed
Louisiana pharmacists prior to November 1. The completed application along with

the annual renewal fee, attain minimum continuing pharmacy education (CPE) as
required, and complete and submit the annual renewal form to the board office

board shall set the requirements necessary to assure competency for each
individual applying for active status.
