Live CE hours can be very difficult to schedule and very expensive. Going from zero hours per year to 5 places an unfair hardship on pharmacist. As it is, the board doesn’t mind that we work 15+ hour days with no breaks but to add trying to fit 5 live CE hours into that schedule will be extremely difficult. Live CE do not provide any additional benefit to learning and nor does it increase understanding of a given subject matter. I see no reason the board should add this requirement to our annual CE hours.
