Welcome to the Center for Continuing Professional Development at The University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy. Our programs go beyond credit, offering evidence‑based, independently developed learning designed to help healthcare professionals think critically, adapt confidently, and improve patient care. This is education for those who expect rigor, relevance, and lasting impact.

Our offerings include dynamic clinical conferences with in‑person, live online, and on‑demand options; Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs that support individualized growth; and a robust online course catalog that includes all Texas CE requirements. We also develop custom education and provide expert services to help organizations launch, deliver, and evaluate their own CE programs.

Conferences live, online, and on-demand (image of people, laptop, and chart); individual and team continuing professional development (image of road, flag, target, and clipboard); evidence-based online CE catalogue TX requirements (laptop with CE and checkmark); custom education, joint sponsorship, event support (people with light bulb and turning gears)
