Where to track and report your hours

ACPE-accredited CE is reported automatically by the provider to NABP CPE Monitor. Most state boards pull from CPE Monitor at renewal, but you still need to know your exact hours against the rule — which is where most pharmacists get caught short.

Vigilis imports your full CPE Monitor transcript with one click, matches each activity against New Jersey's topic rules, and shows exactly what's short before your renewal closes.
