Pharmacy Choice Connects Pharmacy Universities and Retailers with On-line Continuing Education through RxSchool.
DENVER - Pharmacy Choice, Inc. (http://www.PharmacyChoice.com) a Denver-based provider of web-based career and educational services for the pharmacy industry, continues to fulfill its goal of connecting the most respected pharmacy educators with the largest employers of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians through the RxSchool educational portal (http://www.RxSchool.com).
RxSchool currently hosts one of the largest on-line continuing education (CE) libraries of ACPE accredited courses for the pharmacy industry. This comprehensive RxSchool CE library contains a wide variety of courses from ELF Publications, an ACPE accredited provider, and includes popular specialty courses like Pharmacy Spanish and other CE courses written specifically for pharmacists and certified pharmacy technicians. In an effort to provide even more diverse educational content, RxSchool has recently signed an agreement to host an additional 100 hours of CE courses provided by the University of Colorado School of Pharmacy. CU currently offers an online Non-Traditional Doctor of Pharmacy Degree Program and is expanding their on-line educational offerings through RxSchool. "We are delighted to partner with Pharmacy Choice to provide a broad range of clinically oriented CE topics. I know that these programs will support the expanding role of pharmacists in a wide variety of practice settings", stated Carol Balmer, Director of Postgraduate Professional Education at the University of Colorado School of Pharmacy.
While providing quality educational content is the primary goal of RxSchool, the easy to use web-based software makes it the premier web site for pharmacy continuing education. The cutting edge educational system offers automated on-line assessments, instant printing of certificates and tracking tools for the management of continuing education courses and credits. In addition, RxSchool's secure web-based software and virtually fraud proof certificates offer users and employers added value and security not typically available with other providers.
Pharmacy retailers are beginning to recognize the value in providing their employees with quality education and time saving tools like those provided at RxSchool. In addition to providing CE and other services to over 22,000 independent users, Pharmacy Choice also hosts customizable CE libraries for large employers of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Employers know that a happier and more educated staff will ultimately provide a higher level of healthcare to their patients. King Soopers and City Market are recent clients of Pharmacy Choice and have chosen RxSchool to provide their pharmacy staff with customized and branded CE libraries. "We are constantly striving to provide our pharmacy staff with access to the best continuing education possible and RxSchool simply has the most complete and user friendly system we have seen. This is another great addition to the Pharmacy Choice suite of products that we already utilize to help our pharmacy operation", says Ken Chao, Pharmacy Director for King Soopers/City Market.
What are the future plans for RxSchool? "We are currently in discussions with other Universities to host their CE courses and will continue to build the largest and most diverse CE library on the Internet", says Steve Croke, President of Pharmacy Choice. "There are thousands of hours of CE credit currently available on-line, but most CE web sites are not easily found, are difficult to use and do not offer secure, web-based management features like ours". Croke added, "Our content focus in the near future will include providing CE necessary for Disease State Management; courses that keep pharmacists current on diseases such as Diabetes and Asthma".
