Abstract: E-learning systems have become important tools in the process of continuing education of pharmacists and other healthcare specialists. In Poland the continuing education of graduated pharmacists is obligatory in order to keep their professional license valid. Therefore pharmacists receive credits by taking part in various courses, training and conferences. Nowadays more than 50% of Polish professionally active pharmacists, which means above 11,000 professionals, take part in courses organized with use of e-learning platforms. There are three available and independent from each other systems. e-duk@cja is the largest and most developed system dedicated to pharmacist continuing education. The first version of the Internet based learning system e-duk@cja was launched in February 2005 and was a common project of the Krakow Local Pharmaceutical Chamber and Faculty of Pharmacy Jagiellonian University Medical College. All twenty Local Chambers accept courses and certificates granted by validated on the national level Centre of Postgraduate Education managed by the Faculty of Pharmacy in Krakow. Before being published learning materials need to be approved by the Scientific Committee. All these courses including testing procedure are provided online free of charge. The aim of the e-duk@cja project is to develop a distance learning system for the life-long educational needs of pharmacists. For today e-duk@cja has more than 11,000 active users, 18 courses, 32 credits, ca. 600 independent users’ visits daily and above 2 million hits per year. The newest development was chosen on the functionality and practicality level and includes automatic certification, and ready-for-print certificate generation. Other platforms include farmacja.edu.pl which was created by educators from the Faculty of Pharmacy Warsaw Medical University. The recently established portal e-umed.lodz.pl is provided by Medical University in Łódź. The courses are directed not only to pharmacists but also to physicians who are involved in the continuing education process as healthcare professionals. Constant increase in users’ number proves that this kind of pharmaceutical vocational development is an important element of postgraduate education.
