As I have not been invited or even seen any opportunity to participate in Live CE in the Roanoke area for at least 15 years (ever since it was deemed a conflict of interest when drug companies offered them) I believe we are putting the cart before the horse. Let's first get sponsors to offer the Live CE and then make the requirement of the professionals. I do not believe pharmacists should be required to travel hours to obtain CE nor should they have limited options. In the 80's we had many opportunities during the year to attend CE presentations but now if there is an educational presentation we are prevented from receiving the CE. I am not an advocate of online live CE. You do not have the live interaction with the presenter ad well as with other attendees at the same time for forfeiting one huge advantage of the experience.
