Live CE--for pharmacists
 

Regarding the  requirement for all current active pharmacists to obtain 5 hours of live or interactive continuing education annually.  This is difficult to impossible for me as I live in Texas.  Why the need for live CE?  Even if it is a webinar, people can turn it on,  walk off and do something else.  I don't have the privilege of sitting through a live program as my job and family take up all of my time.  I prefer to squeeze in home study CE when and where I can and actually read it.  Adding the requirement of  a live CE program puts an unnecessary burden on already stressed out pharmacists.
