How is North Carolina pharmacist CE reported?

When you complete AchieveCE courses, your credit is reported automatically to the NABP CPE Monitor, so it reaches the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy without manual submission.

Yes. Up to 10 of the 15 hours may be completed by home study / online through ACPE-accredited providers such as AchieveCE; the remaining 5 must be live.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.

I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
