From Theory to Practice: Clinical Reasoning Series in Pediatric Pharmacy is one component of the professional development program developed by ACCP and approved for the recertification of the Board Certified Pediatric Pharmacy Specialist (BCPPS).

This educational series explores cutting-edge, contemporary therapeutic topics, and demonstrates scientifically sound clinical reasoning and decision-making. It employs learning activities designed to advance the participants’ skills and abilities to critically evaluate the scientific evidence and to effectively incorporate into daily practice significant findings that lead to effective and safe patient care.

“The ABC’s of Pediatric Epilepsy: From Status Epilepticus to Long-term Seizure Management” will evaluate pharmacologic treatment options for patients who present in status epilepticus and examine the efficacy and toxicities of the oral antiepileptic medications used to treat various pediatric epilepsy syndromes.

The program will also examine treatment options for patients with pharmacoresistent epilepsy and possible alternative therapeutic options for seizure control.
