On Demand Informational Programs 

Watch these convenient on demand informational programs at any time! 

To request Continuing Pharmacy Education (CPE) for participation in the new licensee rules informational programs, please click on the appropriate link(s) above. While these informational programs are Oregon board-approved, they are not accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). Therefore, completion of these programs will not automatically appear in the NABP CPE Monitor*. You can upload the course completion certificate for this program into your e-Gov profile and comply with CPE record retention requirements in OAR 855-135

*Pharmacists can upgrade to the NABP CPE Monitor Plus program for an annual fee to track non-ACPE credits. This upgrade allows a Pharmacist to manually upload credits from board-approved programs.
