While, in my experience, live CE has been no more effective as a learning tool than reading an article and completing a quiz, I'm not opposed to this potential requirement however, pharmacists are likely going to have to take time away from work to attend live CE.  Due to limited availability of events and many pharmacist schedules including late evening and weekend hours, it may be difficult to make arrangements to attend during non-work hours.  If this becomes a requirement in order to maintain a pharmacist license, will employers be required to allow separate paid time off for pharmacists to attend live CE events, sufficient to account for travel time, etc?  I am currently living and working outside of Virginia and will continue to do so at least until my daughter graduates from high school.  I am also fortunate enough to have an employer who does allow paid time off for live CE.  If I were to return to VA with live CE as a requirement, this would be a significant concern.
