Being a board certified pharmacist with licensure in three states, including Virginia,  I have found that the impactful knowledge I gain is far greater with the non-live CE credits. I am able to choose a plethora of non-live CE topics that pertains to my focused area of practice and work at a pace conducive to my learning (I always spend more time on the CE material than the number of credits the CE provides.) . During live CE credits I often find that there is too much information cramed into the amount of time required and often presenters do not provide useful information. It seems a large majority of live CE credits are more focused on gaining money from participants than providing impactful educational opportunities.
