Kansas pharmacy-law study guide

Prepare a Kansas pharmacy-law review plan using the licensing board's current rules. Focus on pharmacy practice definitions, technician supervision, compounding standards. The $99 purchase covers Kansas law only, without Federal law. Choose $125 for one state + Federal, or $180 for two distinct eligible states without Federal, subject to availability. Existing buyers retain their previously granted Federal access. Review Federal requirements separately and confirm which examination and licensing pathway applies to you.

MPJE or UMPJE?

Both, until the Kansas MPJE ends. Since April 1, 2026, the Kansas Board of Pharmacy accepts either the Kansas MPJE or the UMPJE plus the Kansas Plus Module. The Kansas MPJE "will no longer be offered or required as of April 1, 2027" [S1]. NABP gives March 31, 2027 as the retirement date [S2]. Graduates of the KU School of Pharmacy are exempt from the Kansas Plus Module [S1]. Transfer applicants need either the UMPJE plus the module or the Kansas MPJE, along with an ELTP application [S1]. Out-of-state candidates could take the UMPJE from June 1, 2026 [S1].
