Can I receive any continuing education credit for volunteer work at a free or charitable clinic?
At the July 1999 meeting of the Board, and revised at the January 2008 meeting, the members recognized the merit of pharmacists who volunteer for service at free clinics. In a close vote, the members approved one contact hour of continuing education (CE) credit for every three hours of volunteer practice at free clinics, with a maximum of five contact hours per year. If a pharmacist is subjected to a CE audit, it will be the responsibility of the pharmacist-manager at the clinic to certify the hours worked and credit issued.
