Pharmacist Emeritus Status
Revised: 10/28/2021
Rule 4729:1-2-10 of the Ohio Administrative Code permits a pharmacist to place their license into
emeritus status. This rule is intended to permit a pharmacist who retires from the practice of
pharmacy to maintain their license as an emeritus pharmacist.
By placing a license into emeritus status, a pharmacist agrees to the following terms:
The pharmacist is no longer permitted to engage in the practice of pharmacy in this state.
Upon issuance of an emeritus designation, a license authorizing the person to practice
pharmacy shall be considered void and may only be renewed or reinstated in accordance
with the standard renewal or reinstatement process.
For a pharmacist to qualify for emeritus status, they must meet the following requirements:
1. Is currently or has been licensed to practice pharmacy in this state for at least ten years;
2. Is retired from the practice of pharmacy;
3. Is in good standing*;
4. Is at least sixty years old; and
5. Has applied for an emeritus designation using the form on the next page of this document.
*In good standing means a pharmacist to which all the following apply at the time of their
emeritus application: (a) Does not have a board order restricting the privilege of supervising
interns; (b) Has not been denied a license, registration or certificate by any public agency or
licensing agency; (c) Does not have a license, registration or certificate limited, suspended, or
revoked by any public agency or licensing agency.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS ABOUT EMERITUS STATUS:
The continuing education requirements of Chapter 4729:1-5 of the Administrative Code are
not applicable to an emeritus pharmacist.
An emeritus pharmacist shall not be subject to the licensure renewal requirements or
renewal fees.
An emeritus pharmacist is no longer permitted to engage in the practice of pharmacy.
There is no fee associated with the submission of this form.
