Using self-evaluation to maintain competence.
This limited study examined differences in pharmacists' competencies through self-assessment. By using self-assessment with specified objectives, pharmacists can target areas for CE programs. Pharmacists can then improve and maintain their competencies in these specific areas. A future study could focus on discovering the reasons some pharmacists do not feel comfortable in giving advice/information to other healthcare professionals.
