How to check a Colorado pharmacist licence
The Colorado Pharmacy page links to “Lookup a License/Licensee” on the DORA licensing site. Use it to search by name and read the status DORA shows. The same page links a downloadable licensee and discipline list; that is a bulk roster, so use the lookup for a single person.
Continuing education
DORA’s pharmacist CE page says a pharmacist must complete at least 24 hours of continuing pharmaceutical education during each two-year licence period. The programme must be approved by ACPE or an equivalent accrediting body, and up to six hours of pharmacy-related CE approved by ACCME may be used. Hours from residencies not approved by ACPE are not accepted. The Board may renew the first licence period without CE if the pharmacist was licensed within one year after finishing pharmaceutical education.
Documentation
Licensees keep their own records for at least four years: a certificate, transcript or provider notice showing name, dates, hours attended, course title, provider and ACPE accreditation. DORA says not to send documentation unless specifically requested. The page also lists hardship exception options.
What this page cannot tell you
It cannot say whether any particular pharmacist is licensed. Only the DORA lookup shows the current record, and rules can change, so confirm on the DORA pages below.
