I do not think it is wise in the least to require live CE. Live CE is very difficult for people with busy lives to get, and as such it is usually attended at work where we are surrounded by distractions, or at home surrounded by distractions, or at other such places and times unconducive to learning. Quite often pharmacists will simply pick a live CE based on what best fits their schedule, rather than which topic they feel will benefit them. I have personally attended several targeted at inpatient pharmacists, even though I never have and likely never will work inpatient, simply because that was the most convenient time. None of this is helpful. Non-live CEs have a much broader array of selections, so pharmacists can pick the topics they feel they need to hone in on. And they can complete them when they have the time and focus to truly absorb and learn the material.
