PTCE to Present Live, Virtual Specialty Pharmacy CE Broadcasts in Conjunction with Asembia

PTCE, a leader in continuing education for retail, health-system, oncology, managed care, and specialty pharmacists, in conjunction with Asembia, is conducting 15 live, virtual CE-accredited sessions that are taking place May 2-27, 2020. This virtual CE programming is provided as a part of Asembia’s 2020 Specialty Pharmacy Summit Virtual Experience.

The live event, which was scheduled to take place May 4-7, in Las Vegas, Nevada, was canceled due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

“We are so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Asembia to help transition their 2020 Specialty Pharmacy Summit into virtual broadcasts,” said Jim Palatine, RPh, MBA, president of PTCE, in a prepared statement. “It is more important than ever that we find innovative ways to provide our front-line health care workers with the CE they need. Throughout the month of May, participants can learn and interact with faculty while earning live CE credits from the comfort of their own homes.”
