Do any of you regularly get invited to those drug rep CE dinners? I know some retail pharmacists who say they get approached at work but when I worked in retail, they never came to my store. I want to attend them but I don’t know where to start.

Contact your local doctors and speak to their reps. I always went to the MD's CE dinners with student as a perceptor and the docs loved it and the rep was all for it! Made a many connection !

been invited to many many CE dinner programs in the past. But, not it seems the manufacturers do not provide CE, only information about their problem. The issue at a point became that CEUs had to be generic or free of proprietary names. They could not mention their own brand names if CEU was to be granted. The manufacturers can be named as a sponsor of the program but not mention the brand name of their product. No one wants to do apparently except at large meetings, like a state pharmacy convention. E.G., Ohio Pharmacists Association annual and semi-annual meetings.

Invitations came via the rep or mail for the rep. Invitations for conferences and such come from the associations (APhA, OPA, OSHP)

Do you know any reps to contact?
They are meals only - no CE. Topics are biosimilars and Chemo agents primarily.

You don't usually get CE. Get involved with your state or county pharmacy association - that's how I get invites.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
