title: Impact of pharmacists' participation in a pharmacotherapy follow-up program.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the impact of a continuing pharmacy education (CPE) course on Spanish community pharmacists' participation in a pharmacotherapy follow-up program.
  
  
  METHODS
  Participation in a CPE course offered 4 times over a 4-year period via satellite teleconferencing was monitored and the data analyzed to determine the course's impact on community pharmacists' participation in a pharmacotherapy follow-up program.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Community pharmacists' participation in the pharmaceutical care CPE course had a slightly positive impact on their participation in the pharmacotherapy follow-up program. In the best profiles, there was a probability of 7.3% that participants would participate in the pharmacotherapy follow-up program.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Completion of pharmaceutical care CPE courses did not have a significant impact on pharmacists' participation in a pharmacotherapy follow-up program.
