\"University<\/p>\n

The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy<\/a> (DKICP<\/abbr>) has received approval as sponsor of continuing education (CE<\/abbr>) for doctoral-level psychologists from the American Psychological Association Continuing Education Committee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“With this designation, DKICP<\/abbr> becomes the only organization in Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> that can offer CE<\/abbr> to three licensed healthcare providers: psychologists, physicians and pharmacists,” said Karen Pellegrin<\/strong>, director of continuing education\/strategic planning for DKICP<\/abbr>. “This is especially gratifying as we enter the age of inter-professional healthcare.”<\/p>\n

The college received accreditation to offer CE<\/abbr> to pharmacists as well as physicians in 2009. The CE<\/abbr> credit is a requirement for psychologists to remain licensed. DKICP<\/abbr> becomes the fourth American Psychological Association approved center in Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>. The approval is good for two years.<\/p>\n

Representing all three professions, DKICP<\/abbr> will present the first interdisciplinary CE<\/abbr> course in Waikīkī on October 1–3. The workshop is called Pharmacotherapy in the Age of DSM<\/abbr>-5, referring to American Psychological Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders<\/em>.<\/p>\n

To receive future announcements about CE<\/abbr> events, contact the College of Pharmacy continuing education by email<\/a>.<\/p>\n
