All of us at the ACP congratulate the 3,098 pharmacists who have already completed the prescribed Continuing Competence Program (CCP) tutorial online. Now, there are only three more steps remaining for you to meet program requirements by May 31, 2015.
For everyone else who might need a bit more support and encouragement to get started, we invite you to take some time over the next few days to familiarize yourself with the program requirements. Working through the program in small chunks will definitely alleviate any unnecessary or last minute stress. Remember, in the words of popular English actor Christopher Park, “Procrastination is like a credit card: it’s a lot of fun until you get the bill.”
Let’s track our progress collectively. In the next few issues of The Link, we will visually provide you an update on our team thermometer to demonstrate our progress in achieving a 100 per cent completion rate. Ready…set…go!
