Please do not mandate that 5 hours of live or real-time interactive CE to be part of the annual requirements to maintain pharmacist licensure. If live CE is non-negotioable please consider reducing the number of hours.
Live CE does not meet the needs or wants or the majority of Virginia pharmacists. Instead, it caters to the visions of a few. Please provide evidence that live CE enhances the practice of every day pharmacists in retail pharmacy or non-academic hospital-based settings.
In my experience live CE is not as useful as high quality, self-study CE activities. I do believe that pharmacists have the option of choosing easier activities that may not enhance their knowledge to the degree that the BOP desires. Surely this can be addressed in a less exspensive and time consuming manner.
