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 9.00 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
Fellows must attend the accredited continuing education activities and complete the CE post-assessments and activity evaluations via AACP Learn, the AACP Learning Management System. With the Access Code provided at the conclusion of ALFP Session I, attendees must complete the CE session assessments with a passing score of 75% and the CE session evaluations. Attendees 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 October 27, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
CPE credit information will be electronically transmitted to CPE Monitor upon successful completion of the CE post-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.
