Access to interesting and pertinent continuing education material would be expected to encourage pharmacists to pursue postgraduate professional development. The Internet is one means of providing accessible and timely instructional material. Twenty‐nine Internet sources of continuing education available for pharmacists were identified. Criteria for inclusion included free educational credit and accreditation by a recognized body. Evaluation criteria were currency of the offerings, author and sponsor identification, software requirements in addition to a browser, and methods for submitting examination answers and receiving certificates of credit.
