In order to obtain CPE credit, registrants must attend the live educational sessions delivered on the Event Rebels platform and complete 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 each CE session, 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 all the required components to obtain CPE credit is Saturday, April 17, 2021. 

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. 

If you have questions regarding CE before or after the meeting, please contact Dorothy Novilus, associate director of continuing professional development, at 703-739-2330 ext. 1027.
