CPE Monitor™:
Information for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians
What is CPE Monitor?
CPE Monitor is a national, collaborative effort by ACPE and the National Association
of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) to provide an electronic system for pharmacists and
pharmacy technicians to track their completed continuing pharmacy education (CPE)
credits. It will also offer boards of pharmacy the opportunity to electronically
authenticate the CPE units completed by their licensees, rather than requiring pharmacists
and pharmacy technicians to submit their proof of completion statements (i.e. statements
of credit) upon request or for random audits.
How CPE Monitor Works
Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians will receive a unique identification number
(ID) after setting up their NABP e-Profile and registering for CPE Monitor (see
How to Register for CPE Monitor). In 2012, ACPE-accredited providers will begin
requesting pharmacist and pharmacy technician participants to provide their NABP
e-Profile ID and date of birth (in MMDD format) when they register for a CPE activity
or submit a request for credit. It will be the responsibility of the pharmacist
or pharmacy technician to provide the correct information [i.e. ID and DOB (in MMDD
format)] in order to receive credit for participating in a CPE activity.
The CPE Monitor system will direct electronic data from ACPE-accredited providers
to ACPE and then to NABP, ensuring that CPE credit is officially verified by the
providers. Once information is received by NABP, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians
will be able to log in to access information about their completed CPE activities.
How to Register for CPE Monitor
Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are asked obtain their NABP e-Profile ID
now at www.MyCPEmonitor.net to ensure their e-Profile is properly setup. To accomplish
this, complete and accurate information must be provided. Any errors may result
in unrecorded or mis-recorded CPE credit. In 2013, the service will make available
the CPE data to boards of pharmacy who request information on licensee CPE as part
of their compliance activities.

Benefiting Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians
CPE Monitor will provide a secure, central system that maintains and tracks all
ACPE-accredited CPE credits. This streamlined process will eliminate the need to
file and maintain hard copy statements of credit for CPE activities taken from ACPE-accredited
providers. Instead, online access to their inventory of completed credits will allow
pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to easily monitor their compliance with the
CPE requirements of the state or states where they hold a license or registration.
Licensees of participating boards will no longer have to mail hard copy proof of
CPE statements of credit to those boards.
For added convenience, the NABP e-Profile is available 24/7 for pharmacists and
pharmacy technicians to view a comprehensive list of the ACPE-accredited CPE activities
they have taken. All information will be maintained in a highly secure environment.
ACPE and NABP do not distribute any personal information for commercial purposes
without consent.
Pharmacists or pharmacy technicians with questions regarding their NABP e-Profile
or CPE Monitor should refer to the FAQ section on the NABP website or contact NABP
Customer Service.
