How many credit hours are available at the 2024 Veterinary Pharmacy Conference?
The 2024 Veterinary Pharmacy Conference is approved for up to 10 hours (1.0 CEUs) of continuing education. All sessions carrying the ACPE program number are approved for continuing education credit.
How do I receive my CE credits?
Learning Express is the online platform we are using to provide access to presentations and handouts, post-conference evaluations, and to automatically upload your completed CE to ACPE’s CPE monitor.You will need to have your NABP number in order to register as a pharmacist or pharmacy technician and receive CE credit on Learning Express. Non-United States licensed pharmacists may be able to obtain an e-Profile ID number from NABP for purposes of registering or completing CPE activities. Those individuals should contact NABP at: help@nabp.pharmacy for information and instructions on completing a waiver and release form prior to registering with Learning Express. If you do not have an NABP number, you may register as “other” in your Learning Express profile which will allow you to print a “certificate of attendance”.
You will need to register on Learning Express following the steps below:
- Navigate to Learning Express http://utcop.learningexpressCE.com
- Click on “ACVP 2024 Conference, Indianapolis, IN”
- Scroll down and select the programs that you attended. Then, click the gray button: “Register Now”.
- Click on the program name to see more information about each program.
- This will bring you to the sign-in screen. If you have never registered with Learning Express before, please click the bubble at the bottom: “I am a new user and will create my account.”
- Fill out the proper information (be sure to have your NABP eProfile number and DOB handy).
- Once completed, the bottom of the screen will have the program information again.
- Click the gray button at the bottom: “Register”.
- You will receive an email at the email address you registered with confirming your registration.
- After registering you will then complete the evaluation for each activity. To complete the evaluation, enter the code provided by the speaker.
At the end of each session that is approved for CE credit, a code will appear on the screen. You will need this to unlock the corresponding evaluation for that session in Learning Express. Attendees are required to complete an evaluation form at the completion of the program. CE will be uploaded automatically to the CPE monitor when attendees submit their credits through Learning Express. CE credit is only applied to those sessions you attend. Your CPE credit should appear in CPE Monitor within 48 hours and it is the attendee’s responsibility to check the CPE Monitor to confirm that all credits were received. You must submit your CE through Learning Express by August 13, 2024 in order to receive credit for the live sessions.
Will I receive a certificate?
Once your CE is successfully uploaded to the CPE monitor for each session, you will be able to download and print a certificate for that session from Learning Express. Participants who are not eligible for CE will be able to download a certificate of completion if they marked “other” in the registration profile.
Will there be meeting handouts for the sessions?
