Methods and CE Requirements
Continuing Pharmacy Education Credit

Learners must purchase the product, review all content, complete the attestation statements and course evaluations to receive continuing pharmacy education credit for each activity. You must submit the attestation statements and course evaluations associated with each activity within the course by September 19, 2026.

National Association of Boards of Pharmacy - CPE Monitor Service
Provided through the collaborative efforts of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and ACPE-accredited providers, the CPE Monitor Service allows you to electronically keep track of continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits from ACPE-accredited providers. ACPE-accredited providers, like ACCP, are responsible for transmitting this information to NABP to be stored in the CPE Monitor system. Statements of credit will be available at CPE Monitor, nabp.pharmacy/cpe-monitor-service/, within 2–3 business days after completion of this activity. For more information on CPE Monitor please visit nabp.pharmacy/cpe-monitor-service/.
To transfer these credits to CPE Monitor on your behalf your NABP e-Profile ID Number and date of birth must be listed on your ACCP account. To verify or update this information in your ACCP account, visit Licensure/Certification. Be sure to save your changes at the bottom of the page.
Some international pharmacists do not use the CPE Monitor service. To verify or update this information in your ACCP account, visit Licensure/Certification. Check the box “I am an international pharmacist or I am not licensed to practice in the United States, and do not have an NABP e-Profile ID.” Be sure to save your changes at the bottom of the page.
Recertification Credit
To be eligible to earn BCGP recertification credit for this course you must purchase the recertification version and submit and pass the web-based posttest associated with each module within the course by September 17, 2024. The passing point to earn BCGP recertification credit is based on an expert analysis of the assessment items in each posttest module. Any posttest submitted before the BCGP posttest deadline that meets this passing point will earn BCGP recertification credits. These credits will be assigned as of the date of test submission. For statements of recertification credit, visit www.bpsweb.org.
All participants must have a Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) board certification credential number, BPS ID Number, and a BPS expiration date on file with ACCP for reporting purposes. To verify or update this information in your ACCP account, visit Licensure/Certification. Be sure to save your changes at the bottom of the page.
