About this Course
The School of Pharmacy Henry A. Palmer CE Finale, named for beloved professor and mentor, Dr. Henry A. Palmer, is a continuing education program offered at the end of each calendar year. Held during December, the program helps pharmacists and perhpas pharmacy technicians fulfill their last minute CE requirements. The program is typically not a single theme, but an ala carte program offering a variety of presentations covering contemporary issues in pharmacy practice/therapeutics. These are recordings of the encore webinars presented the week following the live event. This is NOT considered live CE, but is enduring CE.
