Immunology
ACCP is pleased to release a new educational series for the continuous professional development of the pediatric clinical practitioner. The Pediatric Self-Assessment Program (PedSAP) is designed to meet the professional needs of the board certified pediatric pharmacy specialist (BCPPS) and to provide the most up-to-date evidence that is of relevance to everyday practice.
The series will include eight publications released in 2016–2018. Each PedSAP release will offer peer-reviewed chapters and activities that focus on the latest evidence in specific therapeutic areas. PedSAP chapters are fully referenced. Where appropriate, chapters will include features that directly relate information to clinical practice, full-color illustrations, audio and video files, and hyperlinks to assessment tools, patient resources, and the latest research and guidelines.
Immunology is the inaugural release in the PedSAP series. The book focuses on evidence-based practice considerations for managing important immunologic conditions. The book features the following two modules.
- Module 1: Immunology. (This module contains traditional review-style chapters that examine the latest literature and guidelines.)
- Routine Childhood Immunization Series
- Vaccine Development and Future Targets
- Passive Immunization
- Module 2: Clinical and Practice Updates. (This module uses unique interactive and varied learning formats.)
- Interactive Case: Immunology in Solid Organ Transplantation
- Translating Evidence into Practice: Human Papillomavirus Vaccination
- Translating Evidence into Practice: Vancomycin-Associated Nephrotoxicity
Immunology will be released May 16, 2016.
