Nebraska Council For Continuing Pharmaceutical Education (NCCPE)
The Nebraska Council for Continuing Pharmaceutical Education (NCCPE) provides innovative and applicable educational opportunities that focus on meeting the needs for lifelong learning through increasing knowledge in basic and applied sciences, and attaining or enhancing skills necessary to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing and developing profession.
NCCPE is a consortium of the Creighton University School of Pharmacy, the Nebraska Pharmacists Association, and the University of Nebraska College of Pharmacy.
The duties of NCCPE are to:
- adhere to the criteria and reporting requirements of the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE),
- provide pharmacists with a dependable basis for selecting accredited continuing education experiences,
- conduct periodic reviews for continual improvement and strengthening of continuing pharmaceutical education activities,
- advance the availability of high quality continuing education (CE) programs, thereby advancing the practice of pharmacy, and
- provide a mechanism for local non-ACPE-accredited provider organizations to engage in accreditable CE activities, thereby expanding the opportunity for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to participate and gain CE credit.
