Continuing Education

The University of Wyoming - School of Pharmacy was accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) as an accredited provider of Continuing Professional Education the summer of 2020. The Mission of the University of Wyoming - School of Pharmacy Continuing Education Group is to develop, conduct, and evaluate educational programs to meet the continuing professional development needs, tools, and resources for pharmacy professionals and pharmacy technicians to better care for the patients and communities they serve.  We do this by providing educational programming that is timely, relevant, and accessible to pharmacist and pharmacy technician audiences, extending their knowledge, skills, and patient outcomes. The group employs a variety of delivery methodologies using both live and distance learning techniques for providing educational content/materials to the targeted audience.
