CE-Plus

CE-Plus Pilot Launched –  2006 Cycle, Phase 2
September 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009

In the fall of 2007, in response to a request from BC pharmacists, Council asked that a continuing education (CE) option be developed in addition to the College’s existing PDAP. As a result, the CE-Plus tool has been developed by a committee of your peers with the intent of encompassing a wide variety of pharmacy practices (i.e. research, academia, clinical hospital, community, etc.). The working group is confident that this new tool promotes ongoing professional development.

CE-Plus, unlike traditional CE programs which only recognize courses or workshops that have been accredited (granted CEU’s), was specifically designed to recognize all types of professional learning, including, but not limited to:

  • Accredited courses (i.e. CEU’s) offered by post-secondary institutions and accredited training bodies delivered through multiple modes (i.e. in-class, on-line, distance education)
  • Advanced practitioner courses
  • In-service learning activities: work-based information sharing and discussion (i.e. case studies, discussion groups, journal clubs, rounds)
  • Articles, journals, videos, books
  • Conferences

To satisfy the requirements of the CE-Plus option the learning must be directly linked to at least one Role in the Framework of Professional Practice.

Participants must complete a minimum of 6 Learning Records and a minimum of 15 hours per year. Both minimums must be met to satisfy the requirements of the program. (Time documented is the actual time spent on the activity.) The activities must occur between March 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009 to be considered current.

Submit supporting documents that confirm learning activity details (i.e. copies of CE certificates, conference program, PowerPoint presentation which you prepared, patient pamphlet you developed, websites visited, etc), along with your completed Learning Records .

Deadline for submission of completed Learning Records is August 31st, 2009.
