good high yield course
Are these approved for pharmacy CE?
Hi Katie, thank you for using the Capsules Series… unfortunately, we currently are not set up to formally offer CE credits. Some physician residencies are utilizing for Individualized Interactive Instruction (asynchronous learning) credits, but we will keep you posted if future interests leads to wider health professions CE for ALiEMU modules. Thanks for being a part of the ALiEMU community!
