The Pharmacotherapy Review Program for Advanced Clinical Pharmacy Practice is designed to help pharmacists who are preparing for the Board of Pharmacy Specialties certification examination in Pharmacotherapy as well as those seeking a general review and refresher on pharmacotherapeutics and clinical skills.

Program goals are to:

1. present a high-quality, up-to-date overview of pharmacotherapeutics;
2. provide a framework to help participants prepare for the pharmacotherapy specialty certification examination; and
3. engage participants in an interactive, case-based learning experience to advance the clinical judgment and problem-solving skills required in clinical practice.

Pharmacists providing patient care and those planning on obtaining pharmacotherapy board certification should attend this program.
