Our CE is considered for both compounding credit and law in Massachusetts. The compounding modules are designated as law (03); however, they count for compounding (07) as well due to the titling and learning objectives as indicated in MA BOP Policy 2021-04: Continuing Education (CE) Requirements [PDF].
CE programs that cover the regulatory component of compounding are acceptable to fulfill the requirement for both compounding and law contact hours as long as the regulatory component is approved as a “law” CE program and the compounding component meets the acceptable program criteria set forth above.
