In an effort to help control costs and run the meetings more efficiently, ICHP will begin charging a fee to members who register for the meeting but do not attend and do not cancel in a reasonable amount of time. If you cannot attend the program, please notify the ICHP office at least three business days in advance of the program, and you will not be charged. Special consideration will be given for emergencies or hazardous weather conditions. If you do attend the program, you will not be charged the fee. Non-member registration policies will vary by affiliate.

At the present time, neither the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) nor the Illinois Board of Pharmacy requires technicians to participate in ‘T,’ or technician-specific continuing education for re-certification or relicensure purposes. Therefore, technicians are welcome to participate in programming that is either ‘P’ or ‘T’ and will receive CE credit for either type, provided they meet all applicable program requirements.

In order to receive continuing pharmaceutical education credit, meeting attendees must complete speaker and program evaluations for programs they attend and turn them in on site at the conclusion of the educational session. Attendees will receive statements of CE credit approximately 30 days following the program.

Please note: Office of the Inspector General of the United States has determined that it is unethical for non-pharmacists and non-pharmacy related personnel to attend programs that are supported by pharmaceutical manufacturers.  In order to help the pharmaceutical manufacturers be in compliance with these regulations, onsite staff is now going to check everyone in at the door and any non-pharmacy related personnel will not be admitted even if they with to pay for their meal.
