Title of Gen IC: Post-Event Survey for a Continuing Education (CE) Webinar on Pregnancy and
Lactation Medication Information for the Healthcare Provider
Statement of Need: This is a post-event survey that will be administered to healthcare providers and
certain other individuals who attended a continuing education (CE) webinar relating to Pregnancy
and Lactation medication information. The purpose of the survey is to evaluate the quality of the
course content, speakers’ effectiveness, and educational impact. This survey is a required component
for CE accreditation, and it will serve to improve future educational offerings. This survey is required
only for those attendees who wish to seek continuing education (CME, CNE, CPE) credit, which is
required to maintain their professional licensure. For webinar attendees not seeking CE credit, this
survey will be optional.
1. Intended Use of the Information:
This information will be collected and reviewed by the FDA Continuing Education Consultation
and Accreditation Team (CECAT) to evaluate the quality of the course content, effectiveness of
the speakers (faculty), and educational impact. The survey responses will be anonymous.
CECAT supports the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, which is jointly accredited
by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), Accreditation
Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center
(ANCC) to provide continuing education that is recognized by state professional licensing boards.
2. Description of Respondents:
The respondents will include physicians, physician assistants, pharmacists, nurses, and other
members of the scientific or clinical care community who are interested in drug labeling to inform
prescribing in pregnant and lactating individuals and who are seeking CE credit which is required
to maintain their professional licensure.
The information will be collected via a web-based system. Following the webinar, all registrants
will be sent an email that includes a link to the FDA CE Portal with instructions for only those
registrants who wish to receive continuing education (CE) credit on how to access the FDA CE
Portal and complete the post-event evaluation. Learners who are new to using the FDA CE Portal

Following the webinar, all registrants will be sent an email that includes a link to the FDA CE
Portal with instructions. Only those registrants who wish to receive CE credit will be required to
access and complete the post-event evaluation. After successful completion of the post-event
