awarded for the certificate training course only. This is a Certificate Program and is primarily constructed to instill, expand or enhance practice competencies through the systematic achievement of specified knowledge, skills, attitudes and performance behaviors.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Successful completion of the live\/virtual seminar component involves passing the final exam with a grade of 70 percent or higher and demonstrating proficiency in diagnostic testing techniques. Successful completion of the self-study component involves passing the self-study assessment questions with a grade of 70 percent or higher. Credit is only awarded for completion of the entire 8 contact hour program. Credit must be claimed within 30 days of completing the program (no exceptions). Attendance and participation are required before obtaining CPE credit. Partial credit will not be awarded.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CPE Monitor, is a national, collaborative effort by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) to provide an electronic system for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to track their completed PCE credits. This system allows pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to log into a comprehensive electronic profile to access information about their completed CPE. All ACPE-accredited providers will be required to use this system. CPE Statements of Credit will no longer be mailed.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All continuing education credits provided by the Michigan Pharmacists Association (MPA) will be uploaded to the CPE Monitor by Lecture Panda.\u00a0 Lecture Panda is a platform that MPA utilizes to submit your CPE credits. You can access all certificate program materials \u2013 learning modules, PowerPoint slides, additional learning materials, assessments, and evaluations in this platform. As soon as you complete your evaluation and other instructions, it is validated and automatically sent to CPE Monitor for accreditation so there is no wait time to receive credit. After CPE credits are processed by ACPE and NABP, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are able to log into their NABP e-Profile and view all of their completed ACPE-accredited CPE credit.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to process CPE credits, please provide Lecture Panda with your correct NABP e-Profile ID number and your birth month and day (MMDD format).\u00a0 The NABP e-Profile ID number is currently a 6-digit number, and it is not your license number or NPI number.\u00a0 If you need to verify the number or have not yet registered for one, visit www.MyCPEMonitor.net as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"101\" height=\"95\" class=\"wp-image-141\" src=\"https:\/\/naspa.us\/poct\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/acpe.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Michigan Pharmacists Association is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) as a provider of continuing pharmacy education.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68dc1c8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"68dc1c8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agenda Course Description WHO: This course provides pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and members of academia, industry and government with the skills necessary to develop and implement a collaborative testing program for influenza, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, coronaviruses and pharyngitis.
