Dear Madam/Sirs:

I would like to respectively request that the addition of the requirement for live continuing be reconsidered.  Pharmacists do not always work hours that are flexibile enought to allow for live attendance at a particular time and/or place to receive their continuing education.  The internet has allowed me, and I'm sure other pharmacists, the ability to obtain good qualilty continuing pharmacy education at times that are convenient to my schedule and also allows me to choose topics that are both of interest to me and of particular utility to my practice.  A requirement to obtain a third of my annual requirement as live or interactive content would likely force me to take "something" that I could squeeze into my schedule, rather than a topic that was relavant. 

Thank you for taking the time to consider my feedback.
