The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education. Pharmacists may earn up to 13.00 hours of continuing education credits following the completion of ALFP Session I and corresponding CE activity assessments and evaluations. Accredited activities presented during ALFP Session I will discuss leadership-related topics.
Continuing Education Credit Requirements
ALFP fellows must attend the accredited continuing education activities, complete the CE activity assessments with a passing score of 75%, and submit the CE activity evaluations via AACP Learn, the AACP Learning Management System. Fellows will have 45 days following ALFP Session I to complete the CE requirements for credits. Access to session activity evaluations and assessments in AACP Learn will be denied after November 2, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
CPE credit information will be electronically transmitted to CPE Monitor upon successful completion of the CE assessment and evaluation. Pharmacists should log in to their NABP e-profile to access information about their completed CPE and to print a valid statement of credit if needed.
Note, it is imperative that pharmacist attendee’s NABP e-Profile ID and birthdate (in MM/DD format) are correctly entered in AACP Learn and correspond with their NABP record. Failure to ensure this information is identical in both programs will jeopardize their earning CPE credits.
