Guest guest Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Yes Karin, you can as long as the state (regs) has not said otherwise. IF Wa requires PTCB certification then it just may require proof of renewal to show you have the CE's. Read the law carefully and check with your state professional technician association(s). More than likely they will accept the same CE's and or accept proof of renewal and let PTCB figure out (do the work) if your CE's are valid. Keep us posted, Any one else in WA KNOW for SURE? Karin if you can post the exact law I can interpret it for you. Jeanetta Mastron CPhT BS Founder/Owner > > Just heard about this today.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Dear Karin, Written without specifics since the state can determine whatever method it needs to. I believe this will be expounded upon with more and more technicians calling and emailing their state board for answers. I think your state profession orgs will come out with a formal statement as well. But I would bet my bottom last dollar that WA will require proof of PTCB renewal which will by all rights mean you have sent in your CE's and PTCB has accepted them by reviewing titles etc, or by auditing you thereby allowing WA to accept your current PTCB status as meaning that you are keeping up your CE. CA on the other hand at this time does not require CE. The keeping of one's PTCB current requires such. One's employer may require active PTCB certification. This is why so many CA techs are PTCB certified, because their employer requires it. But if WA state board of pharmacy is going to require CE and they also require PTCB then proof of such is proof that your PTCB CE requirement has been met and therefore the WA requirement would be met. Any one else have any WA information? I'll keep my eyes and ears open on this topic.
