Objectives:
To evaluate pharmacists' satisfaction with and reasons for enrolling in a series of continuing education webinars.
Design:
Webinars intended to provide timely and practical information for practicing pharmacists on a specific therapeutic area were created and presented monthly throughout 2011.
Assessment:
Survey responses of volunteers who completed at least 1 webinar were positive regarding the quality of the programming and the method of delivery. No significant differences were found in demographics or reasons for enrolling between participants who completed a single webinar and those who completed 2 or more.
Conclusions:
While the webinars received positive evaluations for quality, value, and relevance, the limited average number of webinars attended by each pharmacist was a concern, and several tactics will be implemented to address scheduling conflicts and other deterrents to repeat participation.
