Admissions Workshop registration materials can be picked up at the AACP Registration and Help Desk at the Gaylord Texan on Friday, July 22, from 7:00 a.m.–9:00 a.m.

All accredited continuing education sessions are marked as such with a universal activity number (UAN), activity type, and the number of contact hours (CEUs) in the program schedule.

The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education. 
 

CPE credits are administered via the online AACP CE Administration platform, Learning Express CE (LECE). Meeting registrants must attend the accredited continuing education activities and complete the CE post-assessment and activity evaluation on the LECE platform. A passing score of 75% is required to obtain CPE credit.

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 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.

If you have questions regarding CE before or after Pharmacy Education 2022, please contact Dorothy Novilus, Associate Director of Continuing Professional Development, at 703-739-2330 ext. 1027.

AACP utilizes standard procedures for providing evidence of participation in accredited continuing education activities. Prior to completing the CE session's assessment and evaluation, participants will be asked to enter an “Access Code” to ensure they have attended sessions approved for continuing education credits. Presenters will provide the Access Code at the conclusion of their presentations.

Educational presentations that are submitted to AACP will be available on the AACP Community site/mobile app at the end of June.

Select educational programming held in the Texas Ballroom of the Gaylord Texan will be live streamed and recorded. Attendance at, or participation in, these sessions constitutes an agreement by the attendee to the capturing of their image, likeness, and/or voice, as well as the use and/or distribution of the video recordings and electronic reproductions which may contain the attendee’s image, likeness and/or voice.
