The Board of Pharmacy is sponsoring a training program, "Inspection Expectations, Diversion Trends, Loss Prevention, Legal Updates and CURES," on August 8 via WebEx. Pharmacists who participate will receive six hours of continuing education (CE) credit. 

The event is free, but space is limited and preregistration is required. The board has transitioned its registration and CE certification to PharmEd, its new learning management system. To register for the event, you will need to create an account in PharmEd if you do not already have one. To create an account please go to https://pharmed.thinkific.com/. Training attendees who do not use PharmEd will not be given CE credit. 

For information on how to register for the event, visit the Board's website at www.pharmacy.ca.gov, scroll down to "Important Information for Licensees," and click on "Free CE Training Registration".  

For questions about the event, email the Board at pharmacy.ce@dca.ca.gov.
