Accreditation and Joint Providership Services

The Kentucky Pharmacy Education and Research Foundation (KPERF) believes that high-quality continuing education (CE) drives the future of pharmacy practice. Through our accreditation and joint providership services, we partner with organizations, institutions, and healthcare teams to deliver impactful educational programs that meet the rigorous standards of the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE).

Our Role As An ACPE Provider
As an ACPE-accredited provider, KPERF is authorized to plan, accredit, and report continuing pharmacy education activities for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Our mission is to ensure that every educational experience enhances professional competence, improves patient care, and supports lifelong learning within the pharmacy community.

KPERF welcomes collaborations with:

• Hospitals and health systems
• Colleges and schools of pharmacy
• State and local associations
• Industry and healthcare organizations
• Independent groups seeking to provide CE for pharmacy professionals

Through joint providership, KPERF works with partners to develop, review, and accredit continuing education activities that align with ACPE standards. We guide you through every step, from activity design and needs assessment to post-program reporting, KPERF ensures a seamless and compliant process for all joint providers.
