Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Dear m and All, Check your state pharmacist or pharm tech professional organizations for local seminars and conventions: ASHP your states -SHP exsample CSHP = CA APhA your states -PhA example CPhA = CA AAPT for techs and your 'area' Texas, NC etc In CA you can sit in on a State Board of Pharmacy meeting to get up to 6 hours of CE! Check your state! I have a link in my Files section and also in my Link section for the same. Most members are seeking FREE which I can understand, but for a membership fee you get the CE plus benefits of being a member from the pharm tech organization of AAPT. Budget? Try www.powerpak.com Hope this helps, Jeanetta Mastron CPhT BS Founder/Owner > > Hello, > > I'm certified and will need to get my c.e. hours.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 They are GREAT! Some times you sit by someone or knows someone who is seeking to hire someone just like you! At one NPTA convention in 2002 or 2003 I was offered a position in another state, I did not want to move from CA, but I sent a friend of mine to the same 'booth' and she got an instant live conference phone call at the convention and got hired immediately! Most of the big conventions also have a job board and a Trade Show with a Career or Job Fair section. This is where the hospitals, community pharmacies and agencies come specifically to recruit employees. In addition some states require LIVE CE, such as Alabama, which is another good reason to attend a convention. I should point out that some live webinar are also accepted for Live CE but you have to check with the CE sponsor and your state board of pharmacy. Conventions are considerably more expensive way to get CE but if you like live presentations, people, networking etc then this is the way to go. My favorite is LIVE CE. Hope this helps.
