ACPE logoAACP is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education. Select educational activities presented during the Artificial Intelligence Institute are eligible for continuing education credit. 

Information on how to obtain continuing education credit:

To obtain CPE credit, pharmacists must attend the accredited continuing education sessions, complete the activity assessments with a passing score of 75% or higher, and submit the activity evaluations on Learning Express CE. Attendees will have 45 days following the Institute to complete the CPE requirements. Access to the CE activity assessments and evaluations will be denied after Monday, March 10, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. ET. 

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.

Note: It is imperative that pharmacist attendees’ NABP e-Profile ID and birthdate (in MM/DD format) are correctly entered into their 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 the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Institute, please contact: cpd@aacp.org.
