We are very excited to announce the launch of the NEW and IMPROVED FreeCE web site. That's right everyone, FreeCE has received a new layout and improved features. As most of you know we have been working towards a tighter integration between our different Continuing Education web sites. This is one more step in providing seamless integration between FreeCE.com, PharmCon.com and our CE Community site. These steps will provide a more cohesive user experience in obtaining your future continuing education credits, along with an organized way to view and print your existing continuing education certificates.

As a user, you can still expect to receive the same high quality continuing education programs that you have received in the past. We have just re-organized and restructured the site to be more efficient and to be better integrated with our other sites. This has been an ongoing development for our IT team here at Harmon, Inc and we are finally prepared for the launch.
