To the best of my knowledge... pharmacists in Michigan (including the UP), are required to take 30 accredited hrs of CE every 24months for relicensure.
Any other "testing" could be done by the employer for company or hospital regs if those are a part of employment conditions.
With the computer databases in place today in pharmacies, looking up drug info is safer than relying on memory.
Most of my CE revolves around therapeutics and disease states in which medications would be included.
Doctors can look up things... but they often choose not to. They order and delegate.
Also many things that are complex in therapeutics are now in computers in the better hospitals.
Figuring out dosing regimens is a click away now. And still they will not do it themselves. They will call the pharmacy in hosp at all hours for the most basic things...and staff at night is typically very small and the pharmacist has to make sterile IVs (in sterile garb) and what not and field these minor lazy calls which places the IV product at risk! I have seen several quit those conditions and move on!
Seems the doctors in teaching hospitals tend to be better informed in this regard, about treatments etc. They seem to find the time for that.
