Live CE
 

I am writing to voice opposition to the proposed live CE requirement change. Unless there is substantial evidence proving live CE is superior to other forms, this measure appears unwarranted and arbitrary. As a retired pharmacist, I maintain my license in order to provide pharmacy services at a local free clinic. As such, under the present system, I am able to select CE courses applicable to my practice setting. Regrettably if I am forced to take live CE, it will be whatever I can find. Additionally, the added costs associated with live CE may make continuing to maintain my license an untenable proposition. I hope you will reconsider the broad impacts of this proposed requirement change. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
