The Illinois Council of Health-System Pharmacists is accredited by the
Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing
pharmacy education. To receive your CPE credit, you will need to
complete the online evaluation forms at
www.CESally.com
and then your credit will automatically be reported to CPE Monitor. Instructions for completing an online evaluation and receiving CPE will be provided at the meeting. You must complete an evaluation to receive credit. Participants will be required to sign in at the start of the program.
Target Audience: This knowledge-based activity was developed for Health-System Pharmacists and Technicians.
Reminder:PTCB is changing their
continuing pharmacy education requirements in 2015. Beginning in 2015,
PTCB will require CPhTs to earn only pharmacy technician-specific
(‘T-specific’) continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credit to qualify for
recertification. Pharmacy technicians may recertify in 2015 using any P
credits already earned in 2014, but will no long be able to earn
Pharmacist only or P-specific CPE for future recertification beginning
January 2015. 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 of our CPE programming.
CPE Monitor: When registering for this program, you will be required to provide your NABP e-Provile ID # and Birthday.
