The Illinois Council of Health System Pharmacists is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education. This activity provides 1 hour (0.1 CEU) of continuing pharmacy education credit (ACPE Activity # 0121-0000-14-048-L01-P).
Attendees must complete a program evaluation and CPE submission online at
www.CESally.com. After successful CPE submission to CPE Monitor, attendees may print their statements of continuing pharmacy education credit at
www.NABP.net.
Target Audience: This knowledge-based activity was developed for Health-System Pharmacists.
Pharmacy Technicians may attend Pharmacist (P-specific) programs for credit through 2014. However PTCB is changing their continuing pharmacy education requirements in 2015. Beginning in 2015, PTCB will require CPhTs to submit 20 hours of pharmacy technician-specific (‘T-specific’) continuing pharmacy education (CPE) to qualify for recertification. Pharmacy technicians will no long be able to use Pharmacist only or P-specific CPE. In addition, PTCB will reduce the number of allowable CPE hours earned through in-service training from 10 to 5. Please advise all pharmacy technicians at your site of this pending change. As an ACPE accredited provider, ICHP will continue to include Technician specific programming in most if not all of our CPE programming.
CPE Monitor: When registering for this program, you will be required to provide your NABP eProfile ID# and Birthday (MMDD) when registering for this meeting. Beginning in 2013, this information will be required by any participants seeking CPE credit.
