Abstract

Continuous professional development plays an important role in enhancing the professional growth of pharmacists. The Bulgarian Pharmacy has introduced an e-learning platform for distance learning for pharmacists in Bulgaria, helping them improve the quality of their services and ensure better patient care. This study seeks to evaluate and summarize the quantitative and qualitative engagement with the e-learning platform. The initial eighteen-month data, spanning July 1st to December 31st, 2019, were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. During this period, the platform featured five active modules and was used by 24.3% of the active BPhU members. The participation rates in the modules ranged from 22% to 63% of the platform's visitors. Each module concluded with a test, and the study measured the average success rate in percentages, the average time taken to complete the test, and the proportion of users who attempted the test multiple times to achieve a passing score. The BPhU’s e-learning platform has demonstrated its effectiveness as a valuable resource for delivering CPD training to pharmacists across Bulgaria.
