Abstract: A continuing education program resulted in a 52 per cent improvement in the specified professional behaviors per community pharmacists within one month. However, surveyed effects were not permanent and decreased significantly within 18 months. Following a simple mailing of specially designed literature, desired behaviors again underwent significant improvement comparable to that attributed to the original continuing education program. A better understanding of professional behaviors as functions of time and different educational modes would be invaluable to educators in both academic and postgraduate programs.
