One of the goals of ALSHP is to provide high quality continuing education programs to our members. We view these sessions as a time for members to learn new information as well as opportunities for them to share with other practitioners what they are doing in their practice settings/institutions. I have the opportunity to work closely with the Director of Educational Affairs, Amy Donaldson, the Educational Planning Committees, and our Executive Directors/ACPE Administrators, Bob and Bobby Mosca, to ensure that our meetings meet our goals. While we spend a great deal of time planning and ensuring compliance with Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) continuing pharmacy education (CPE) standards behind the scenes, what we really want is your feedback on sessions! We utilize past meeting evaluations and member surveys to determine what your educational needs are. In an effort to reach more of you and to see the long-term impact of what you learning by attending ALSHP programs, you will begin seeing the use of surveys to assess follow-up after the meetings. We are working to plan sessions that are “application” sessions that encourage more discussion and case-based learning. In addition, we are continuing to try to have programs to meet needs specific to our members including New Practitioners (students, residents, those in practice < 5 years), technicians, and managers/leaders. If you have ideas for specific education sessions, please email those to meetings@alshp.org.

Remember that you will need your CPE Monitor number when you register for meetings and when you are completing your attendance verification at meetings. If you have not already signed up for CPE Monitor or if you have just forgotten your number, be sure and visit - http://www.nabp.net - to obtain your number.

We hope that you have already received information on our Summer Meeting and Exhibit Show that will be June 27 – 29 in Sandestin, Florida at Hotel LeCiel, part of the Sandestin Beach Resort. Please find additional information within this newsletter as well as on our website. We look forward to seeing you there!
