The ACPE requires that providers create and conduct evaluations of every CPE activity. The evaluations must allow for feedback (by pharmacists and technicians) on the following required items:
- Applicability of the CPE activity to meet their educational needs
- Achievement of each stated objective
- Quality of faculty
- Usefulness of educational material
- Effectiveness of teaching and learning methods, including active learning
- Appropriateness of learning assessment activities
- Perceptions of bias or commercialism
In addition to these items, it is recommended by the ACPE that providers evaluate whether or not their stated mission and goals have been achieved.
