ASHP Recert Ambassador :: Earn As You Go

I am a fantastic test taker.  We all have enough exams under our belts to be experts in test strategy.  I took a test to see if I would benefit from preschool, then one to see how much I learned in kindergarten, another few to compare me and my school to other Michigan Schools(MEAP), one to get into college (and see how much money people wanted to give me), another test for admission into the College of Pharmacy, many more while making it through, a big one at the end to become a Pharmacist and then another big one to become board certified.  I'm kinda done with tests.  I'm glad the Board of Pharmacy Specialties offers another option for recertification in continuing education. Here is the link for the recert guide.  ASHP offers many options to earn credit toward recertification.  Here is a summary document of those options.  I just finished the online intensive studies course from Midyear.  Unfortunately, I was unable to make it down to New Orleans so this was the next best option.  The course was reasonable from a time-investment standpoint, content was up to date and applicable to my practice, and the mechanics of the online medium were easy to navigate.  Beware, these CE offerings do have expiration dates so make sure you get your CE in before the deadlines.  The other downfall is you still need to take a small test at the end.  If we can't get away from the testing altogether, then I prefer it in small doses.
