OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of a continuing pharmacy education (CPE) course on Spanish community pharmacists' participation in a pharmacotherapy follow-up program. DESIGN: 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. ASSESSMENT: 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.
