“As a practicing clinician, I have very much appreciated the UIC interactive continuing education programs hosted by pharmacists. Each topic has been quite timely and useful in my clinical practice with current and evidence-based recommendations. The pharmacists have clear expertise on the topic, often providing me with supplemental information via email following the program. The CE sessions are easy to schedule and participating in the distance format is quite convenient. I highly recommend these sessions!”
