Preceptor activities counting towards live CE requirement
 

I'm not clear on the language. Does precepting have a limit of one hour for live CE purposes?  For example, would precepting a student for 200 hours count as one hour or more than one hour?

"The requirements in Section 120 are identical to those currently found in Chapter 20 with the exception of subsection C, which proposes to require that five of the required 15 hours be obtained in courses or programs that are live or interactive. There are two new activities that may be used to fulfill live CE, including one hour for attendance at a board meeting or hearing and one hour for serving as a preceptor for someone gaining practical experience. "

P.S. Lots of nice changes.  The MTM facility requirements (e.g., sink) should help many pharmacists offer better services to their patients.
