Continuing Pharmacy Education (CPE)

 

The mission of California Society of Health-System Pharmacists' Continuing Pharmacy Education program is to provide innovative educational activities that will advance the practice of pharmacy and optimize patient care.

California Society of Health-System Pharmacists is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education.

 

Philosophy and Emphasis: ACPE standards were designed to facilitate the continuum of learning and emphasize the foundation needed for development of the learner as a lifelong learner.

ACPE standards emphasize that pharmacists and pharmacy technicians should:

  • Identify their individual educational needs
  • Pursue educational activities that will produce and sustain more effective professional practice in order to improve practice, patient, and population healthcare outcomes
  • Link knowledge, skills, and attitudes learned to their application of knowledge, skills, and attitudes in practice
  • Continue self-directed learning throughout the progression of their careers

CSHP's responsibilities to learners:

  • Advocate for lifelong learning of pharmacists and technicians
  • Emphasize systematic, self-directed learning
  • Identify and meet the educational needs of pharmacists and technicians
  • Assure that faculty take an active role in delivering content so pharmacists and technicians are actively engaged in their learning
  • Assess participant learning from a CPE activity
  • Evaluate the impact of CPE activities in pharmacy practice
