What is CPE Monitor and why do I need a NAPB e-Profile ID number?CPE Monitor is a national, collaborative effort by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) and the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) to provide an electronic system for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to track their completed continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. It will also offer state boards of pharmacy the opportunity to electronically authenticate the CPE units completed by their licensees, rather than requiring pharmacists and technicians to submit their proof of completion statements upon request or for random audits.
To prepare for the new process, pharmacists and technicians are encouraged to obtain their NABP e-Profile ID now to ensure their e-Profile is properly setup. Beginning in 2012, the e-Profile ID will be required to receive credit for any CPE activities taken from ACPE-accredited providers.

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.
