The Physician Dispensing in Maryland Series
This series Physician Dispensing in Maryland is an educational collaboration between MedChi The Maryland State Medical Society and The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy.

The purpose of the Physician Dispensing in Maryland Educational Series is to:

Promote consistency and high quality dispensing of prescription medications in all settings in Maryland; and
Support dispensing physicians in successful completion of the requirements for a permit under Maryland Law.

Successful completion requires the learner to complete all practice based activity components including the audiovisual presentations, post-test, and Activity Evaluation. Participants must receive a score of at least 70% on the post-test in order to receive credit. The post-test may be taken up to three (3) times.

Disclosure and Transparency in CME/CPD:
It is MedChi's policy to ensure the independence, transparency, balance, objectivity, scientific rigor and integrity, as well as validation of content for all CME/CPD activities we accredit. To that end, faculty must disclose to the participants any relationships with companies identified as meeting the ACCME definition of a commercial interest. In the process of the disclosure process, all faculty and planners have disclosed the presences or absence of such relationships to MedChi. MedChi has identified, evaluated and where appropriate, attempted to resolve any potential conflicts of interest. This is done through the use of content validation, the use of evidence-based data, and multi-disciplinary peer review. The information provided as disclosure to the learner, is to inform the learner and aide in judgment, not to imply that disclosed relationships will have a negative effect on a presentation.
