Information on how to obtain continuing education credit

To obtain CPE credit, registrants must attend the accredited CE sessions presented during the conference and complete the CE post-assessments and activity evaluations via the online AACP Continuing Education Administration software program, Learning Express CE (LECE)

With the access code provided at the conclusion of each accredited continuing education, attendees must complete the CE session assessment with a passing score of 75% or higher and the CE evaluation for each session they are requesting continuing education credit. 

Attendees will have 45 days following NMA Conference to complete the CE requirements for credits. Access to session activity assessments and evaluations will be denied after July 22, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

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 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.
