Please contact the NMBOP at least a week prior to a NMBOP sponsored Law Update (via e-mail at pharmacy.board@state.nm.us ) to reserve your spot and register, so that you can receive a certificate and CE credit for the law update.  Please include in the message your name, pharmacist license number, the date and time of the session you wish to attend, and your contact information.  

The NMBOP Albuquerque area Law Updates will be held at the NMBOP office.  In 2021, we will hold two law updates on a Friday each month in the Albuquerque area, which will be held from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM.  All of the 2021 NMBOP sponsored Albuquerque area law updates fall on the first Friday of the month, EXCEPT the January, July, and September law updates (second Friday of the month). 

If you wish to attend a Pharmacy Law Update that is sponsored by the NMPhA or NMSHP, please contact the organization directly to reserve.  Please note that the dates and times for the NMPhA or NMSHP sponsored law updates vary.  

** Remember, the Law Update held at the NMBOP, while presented at no charge, does not have an ACPE number and is not reported to the CPE Monitor.
