Pharmacy Collaborative Practice Certification

The following steps apply to individuals who possess a Florida Pharmacist license that is active and in good standing and wish to obtain the Collaborative Practice Certification:

1. Apply for a Pharmacist Collaborative Practice Certification. Ensure that all fields are completed as instructed. An incomplete application shall expire after one (1) year. To apply, click here
2. Complete a 20-hour board approved Collaborative Practice Certification course. Please submit the certificate of completion for the course with your application. More information regarding approved course may be found on CE Broker.
3. Submit a copy of a Collaborative Practice Agreement. Prior to providing or implementing patient care services under a Collaborative Pharmacy Practice Agreement or immediately after the renewal of such an Agreement, a Pharmacist shall submit the executed agreement to the Board Office through the online licensure account by clicking here or via US Mail. Please note that this agreement is not required at the time of certification; however, a pharmacist who enters into a collaborative pharmacy practice agreement must submit a copy of the signed agreement to the board before the agreement may be implemented.
4. Obtain $250,000 of professional liability insurance. Please submit a copy of the professional liability insurance policy with your application.

• If you are renewing your license after the expiration date and your status still indicates Clear/Active or Clear/Inactive, you will be assessed a delinquency fee. The delinquency fee will be in addition to your renewal fees.
• If your license is Delinquent/Active or Delinquent/Inactive you may still renew prior to the renewal deadline. The following actions must be taken prior to renewing your license:
  • Prior to renewing your license, you must report your continuing education (CE) hours to the Department of Health’s tracking system.
  • To renew a delinquent license, you will need to report your CE hours for your current cycle, as well as your previous cycle.
  • If you did not complete CE courses in your last renewal cycle, you may complete them now and report them to the CE tracking system.
  • To report course completion, log onto your MQA Online Account.  From your dashboard, go to “Additional Activities” and select Report CE/CME.
  Please note, when renewing your license, a delinquent fee will be assessed in addition to all applicable renewal fees.

• If your license was Delinquent/Active or Delinquent/Inactive before the renewal deadline, it will be moved to Null and Void status after the renewal deadline. You should contact your board office for further instruction.
• The process of renewing a license may take 7-10 business days. Initiating contact to confirm the receipt of fees or the status of your license prior to this time will not expedite the renewal process.
• A licensee who remains on inactive status for more than two consecutive biennial licensure cycles and who wishes to reactivate the license may be required to demonstrate the competency to resume active practice by sitting for a special purpose examination or by completing other reactivation requirements.
• If you are reactivating your license, please refer to the laws and rules governing your practice for additional requirements.
• Note: Do not submit certificates of completion of continuing education hours to the Florida Board of Nursing. Please report continuing education credits to the Department of Health through our CE tracking system at www.cebroker.com.

Name Change

If you are renewing online and need to change your name, please follow these instructions prior to renewing your license:

Name changes require legal documentation showing the name change. Please log into your MQA Online Services Portal account to submit your request and enter your full name as it appears on your legal documentation. If you are submitting your request online, please attach/upload supporting documents, which must be one of the following:

• A copy of a state issued marriage license that includes the original signature and seal from the clerk of the court
• A divorce decree showing the name change
• A court order showing the name change (Adoption, legal name change, federal identity change)
• A copy of a certificate of naturalization or H1B Employment Visa (Note: Foreign applicants and/or licensees may not have state issued documents)

Any one of these will be accepted unless the department has a question about the authenticity of the document.

NOTE: Please allow 5-7 business days for your request to be processed. If you are requesting a name change outside of renewal and wish to receive a new license reflecting the name change, you must request a duplicate license.
