ACPE Pharmacy Administrator

Hello!

AchieveCE is a medical continuing education provider in the United States. We provide CE to a broad range of medical professions, ranging from Occupational Therapy to Massage to Pharmacy. We are currently pursuing a national level approval with the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) and are in need of a pharmacy administrator.

Only applicants with substantial pharmacy experience should apply; we are ideally looking for a pharmacist or pharmacy technician with experience in the United States. Applicants should have excellent written and oral communication skills in English and should be able to communicate with US pharmacy professionals via phone, email and LinkedIn.

The basic functions of this position will include, but not be limited to: (1) auditing CPE content to ensure accuracy and relevance, (2) organize and schedule live courses, (3) manage the course creation process with course content writers, (4) possibly develop course content yourself, though this is not a necessary stipulation, and (5) serve as the liaison between the company and pharmacy faculty members, for recruiting and ongoing relationship management.

This position has tremendous room for growth and professional development within the company as well as for opportunities for increased pay as a part of our grant-writing initiatives. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Below, I have included the official description of responsibilities directly from the ACPE regarding the role of the CPE Administrator:

----------

There shall be a visible, continuous and identifiable authority charged with the administration of the provider’s CPE program. The administrative authority shall have the responsibility and be accountable for assuring and demonstrating compliance with the standards. The provider should have policies and procedures to conduct its CPE program.

The person in whom the administrative function is vested shall be qualified by virtue of background, education, training and/or experience. The CPE Administrator must have authority within the organization to assure that the ACPE standards and policies and procedures are met.

The provider is required to identify two unique individuals to serve in the roles of CPE Administrator and secondary contact. The CPE Administrator serves as the primary point of contact with administrative authority as defined per CPE policies and procedures. The secondary contact (e.g. supervisor, Board officer, committee member) serves as an alternate point of contact and must be affiliated with the provider organization.
