Online Pharmacist Refresher Course
The Pharmacist Refresher course is designed for pharmacists who wish to return to community pharmacy practice after an absence from practice for three or more years. The course consists of three modules, all of which have been approved for American Council on Pharmaceutical Education (ACPE) continuing education credits. The first two modules are completely online and composed of weekly study segments that allow course participants to work at their own pace, on their own time. The third module consists of a three-week, 90-hour ‘live’ experience in a community pharmacy. The Connecticut Pharmacy Association (CPA) will assist in sourcing pharmacies at which participants can complete the module. Only those who participate in all three modules will earn a Pharmacist Refresher Course Certificate from Charter Oak State College. Those taking modules One and/or Two for personal enrichment will earn ACPE credits through CPA.
