SafeRx Compliance Resources
Currently, more than 35 courses and one certificate program are approved by the District of Columbia's Board of Pharmacy to satisfy the continuing education requirements mandated by Washington D.C.'s SafeRx Act, the first such legislation in the nation that requires licensing and continuing education for all pharmaceutical sales personnel who work in Washington, D.C.
CMR Institute's courses are the first to be approved by the D.C. Board of Pharmacy and our deep-rooted history of providing unbranded, scientific-based education was critical in meeting the strict approval criteria.
