Past misconduct does not automatically disqualify you from earning PTCB credentials. PTCB will review each case individually. Note: Apply only after your misconduct case is resolved with the associated court, government agency, State Board of Pharmacy, credentialing organization, or professional association. 

When you apply for a PTCB credential, follow these steps if you have past misconduct to disclose:

  1. Complete the Checklist Form
  2. Submit Official Documentation
    • Official documentation must include all related information issued by a court, government agency, professional association, or credentialing organization that explains how the situation was handled and resolved.
    • Applications without this documentation will not be reviewed.
  3. Eligibility Review
    • Past misconduct does not automatically disqualify you.
    • PTCB reviews each case individually and will provide a written decision within four weeks.
  4. Pay the Application Fee
    • Your application and fee must be submitted before PTCB reviews your eligibility.
  5. Submit Your Documentation
    • Upload the documentation during your online application or send it later by attaching it to a help request along with the completed checklist form.

By following these steps, PTCB will be able to review your eligibility efficiently.
