Introduction

PASLInc., in conjunction with the Pharmacy Council of St Lucia, provides the quality Continuing Education Programs you need to ensure your professional development.

Education Committee
Ms. Sarah Calixte - Chairperson
Ms. Earmin Shangoo - Secretary
Ms. Donna L. Daniel - Council Representative
Mrs. Marinda Adams-Antoine - Committee member
Mr. Carlos Johnson - Committee member

The Continuing Education (CE) committee is established by The Pharmacy Council of St. Lucia  and is comprised of five (5) members who are practising pharmacists. The objectives of the continuing education committee comes from the Pharmacy Council.

The Continuing Education Committee was instituted to ensure that all pharmacists meet the educational requirements before registration and re-registration according to international standards and as set by the Pharmacy Council of St. Lucia. 

Calculations of Online Continued Education
1- Credits must be ACPE approved activities.
ACPE - Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education
2- Pharmacy credits are identified as CPE credits.
 CPE - continuing pharmacy education
3- Some online websites also state them as CEUs (Continuing Education Units) and would normally state them with the contact hours of the activity. Eg: A CE which was 2 hours long will be stated as follows:

• Contact Hours (CEU) : 2(0.2)
• The credits received is 0.2 credits.

We do hope this brings clarity to calculating your credits earned.
