| Pharmaceutical Representative and The Certified Medical Representatives Institute Inc. have worked together since 1993 to provide continuing education to pharmaceutical sales representatives.
Available exclusively through Pharmaceutical Representative, continuing education articles and quizzes are free inside each issue of Pharmaceutical Representative. They can also be found online (please scroll down this page). Quizzes are processed for a $20 administration fee. Sales reps who successfully pass the continuing education quizzes earn 0.25 CEU credits* and receive a certificate. Names of sales reps who pass four quizzes are published in Pharmaceutical Representative. Plus, the CMR Institute sends a letter of recognition to each successful sales rep's manager. When representatives successfully complete four quizzes, they receive a certificate of achievement from the CMR Institute. * The CMR/PR Continuing Education Program quizzes are not part of the CMR Institute's certification program and do not count as credits toward the CMR designation.
