Having read some of the comments, and knowing that VIrginia has some substantial rural areas, I would support limiting the required amount of live CE to 4 hours/year, about 1 hr per quarter.  Working for the VA live programming thru teleconference is not a problem as there are many interactive offerings on a regular basis.  Folks without that sort of contact or without coverage for the daytimes in which many interactive programs would occur may find themselves in more of a bind. Therefore, I support some interactive "live" CE and also ask that you put yourselves in the shoes of rural area pharmacists, too.
