Live CE
 

I do not agree with the change to require 5 live CE hours. It is not practical for pharmacists, many of whom work more than 40 hours per week, to attend 2 or more courses throughout the year to remain licensed. In the past, the Board has required CE in a specific subject area in some years. I believe that would be the more prudent measure to ensure that pharmacists maintain current knowledge.
