Teleconference Overview

A series of one hour teleconferences designed to communicate recent findings with important acute care treatments and to place these in the context of Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics.

Emphasis will be on the use of PK/PD concepts at the bedside for dosage determination, therapeutic monitoring and the avoidance of adverse events. Each participant who attends at least 10 teleconferences per year is eligible to receive a complimentary copy of the A.U.I.C. Antibiotic dosing software, and sessions will be devoted to instructions on its use.

New Web Conference Overview

Our one hour teleconferences presented as web based conferences allowing the participant to review the material at a time of their choosing.

Continuing Education Credit

The University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy is approved by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education as a provider of continuing pharmaceutical education.  Each Session is acceptable for 1 contact hour (0.1 ceu) of continuing pharmaceutical education credit.  Participants must complete and return the attendance/CE verification and evaluation forms that are downloaded upon registration for the program(s). At the conclusion of each continuing education teleconference, a code will be given for participants to record on the attendance form.  Upon the UB School of Pharmacy's receipt of the completed attendance and evaluation forms, statements of CE credit will be mailed within 4-6 weeks.

Site Registration

This program is suitable for either individuals or groups, who may register as individuals or as a site. Each unique teleconference location must have a speaker phone and a means of projecting the Power point slides that will be provided for each session. This means that teleconference locations need either an IBM computer or a computer linked to an LCD projector. Computers used during the sessions will need a CD drive and access to email. Instructions for printing forms and handouts will also be provided.

Registrants join Teleconferences using an 800 number, at scheduled times on the dates listed.

Registration closes three weeks before the date of each session, and may close earlier, as sessions are limited to 40 sites
