Live CE
 
Like others have mentioned previously, I do not see a reason to require pharmacists to obtain live CE hours. I currently am able to obtain CE hours online that are free/affordable and in subjects that pertain to my career. If I am required to obtain live CE hours, then I would choose these classes based on time and affordability. Neither of those reasons would help progress my career or proactively impact my knowledge in my specialty. I dont feel that the purpose of CEs is to mark a check box off that we have completed them, but to increase our knowledge so that we can have an impact in our practice. By requiring live CEs, a majority of pharmacists will look at this as just a check box we need to check.
