Postcards from Chicago: CE, CE everywhere
Sean Bates reports that VCU School of Pharmacy is administering continuing education classes — for the fourth consecutive year — for the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy conference.
Bates, executive director of postgraduate educational programs, says his office will process between 750 and 900 CE certificates for people who have enrolled in any of 28 classes at the conference, which runs through Wednesday in Chicago. The classes are held in conjunction with the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education.
Danielle Fife, continuing education assistant, is providing support for Bates at AACP.
Classes topics in Chicago this week range from pharmacy ethics and experiential education to geriatric pharmacy and substance-abuse education.
The School of Pharmacy’s Office of Continuing Education offers about 110 classes per year, mostly within a two-hour radius. Exceptions include the AACP conferences and recent continuing-education cruises.
Last year’s cruise to southern Alaska — on pain and disease state management — was held in conjunction with the School of Medicine. The first cruise, in 2006. concentrated on Parkinson’s disease. And plans are in the works for a possible women’s health cruise next year on the Mexican Riviera.
