What is the ACPE Universal Activity Number (UAN)?
A Universal Activity Number is an identification number which is assigned to each new continuing pharmacy education activity developed, or cosponsored, by an ACPE-accredited provider. This number is developed by appending to the ACPE provider identification number (e.g. 197), the cosponsor designation number (000 for no cosponsor, 999 for all cosponsors, the year of program development (e.g., 09), the sequential number of the program from among the new programs developed during that year (e.g., 001), and the format (L – Live offerings, H – Home study, C -Offerings that contain both live and home study) and topic designators (01 – Drug therapy related, 02 – AIDS therapy related, 03 – Law topics, 04 – General Pharmacy Topics, 05 – Patient Safety). Repeated actvities should use the same Universal Activity Number for a three-year period, although the cosponsor designation might vary.
