Information on how to obtain continuing education credit

To obtain CPE credit, registrants must attend the live accredited CE sessions hosted virtually on the SpotMe platform and complete the CE session evaluations via the online AACP Continuing Education Administration software program, Learning Express CE (LECE)

With the access code provided at the conclusion of the institute, attendees must complete the activity evaluation for each session they are requesting continuing education credit. CPE credit information will be electronically transmitted to CPE Monitor. 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. The deadline to complete the CE activity evaluations is Tuesday, March 8, 2022, 11:59 pm ET.

Note: It is imperative that pharmacist attendees’ NABP e-Profile ID and birthdate (in MM/DD format) are correctly entered into their LECE profile and correspond with their NABP record. Failure to ensure this information is identical in both programs will jeopardize their earning CPE credits.
