Janke KK. Continuing Professional Development: Don’t Miss the Obvious. Amer J Pharm Educ. 2010; 74 (2): Article 31.

This viewpoint briefly reviews CPD-related progress since 2003. The author argues that academics must not miss the opportunity to influence CPD by providing CPD-related didactic and experiential education and thereby graduating CPD-ready pharmacists. The author suggests that schools of pharmacy must support students throughout their CPD skills development, and must work with boards of pharmacy to create CPD-friendly regulatory environments.
