The 2001 WV Legislature passed HB 2815 requiring pharmacists to obtain
two (2) hours of continuing education coursework in the subject of end-of-life
care including pain management during each reporting period..
All acceptable programs will be a minimum of two hours with time allotted
evenly between palliative care and chronic pain management and symptoms
management at end-of-life.
Programs must be submitted to the Board's continuing education committee
for approval and assignment of a number in this special subject matter.
"The requirement must be met by all pharmacists licensed by WV regardless of location. This law did not originate from the Board but was passed to require all licensed pharmacists, doctors, and nurses to obtain 2 hours in the subject of end-of-life care including pain management every reporting period. We will be providing a link to a webbased program that is being produced that will meet this requirement in the next few months. Please check every few weeks to see if the link has been added to the website."
