PedSAP is a series of continuing education activities that cover the latest information on a specific therapeutic area. Topics are drawn from the BPS content outline for the BCPPS certification examination, then the latest medical literature is reviewed for evidence-based updates to improve patient outcomes.
Pharmacists can use PedSAP to develop and assess their knowledge in the science and application of pharmacotherapy. This information can be integrated into structured training programs or assist advanced-level practitioners in maintaining their clinical competence.
Leading the new edition are Series Editor Marcia L. Buck, Pharm.D., FCCP, FPPAG, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, University of Virginia School of Medicine, Clinical Professor, Virginia Commonwealth University School of Pharmacy, Charlottesville, Virginia; and Series Editor Kalen B. Manasco, Pharm.D., BCPS, AE-C, Clinical Associate Professor, Pediatrics, University of Georgia College of Pharmacy Department of Clinical and Administrative Pharmacy, Augusta, Georgia.
Each PedSAP release is an online book made up of peer-reviewed chapters that update a specific therapeutic area. To help integrate this information into practice, chapters include the following, where appropriate:
- In-text references to the latest research
- Graphics that directly relate information to clinical practice
- Full-color photographs, illustrations, and audio and video files
- Hyperlinks to assessment tools, patient resources, and the latest guidelines
- Algorithms and Practice Points (the take-home messages)
Learner self-assessment is by high-level, case-based, multiple-choice questions that test application of the material to real-world practice scenarios. Explained answers are a vital component of the learning process and include a detailed rationale for each self-assessment question with hyperlinks to citations that support optimal decision-making. For more on ACPE and BCPPS credit from PedSAP, see below.
The principal PedSAP release is an online book, provided as an interactive PDF that can be saved to the desktop or printed. The latest version of Adobe Reader (available free) offers functionality such as highlighting or adding “sticky notes” to the text. Intra-document and external links connect you immediately to the information you want and need. As each book is released, the online book is automatically added to your “My Account” page on the ACCP Web site. A required posttest must be submitted within 4 months of the release date to be eligible for BCPPS recertification credit.
In addition, the e-media version of PedSAP is included with any purchase. Perfect for “anywhere, anytime” access, the e-media allows PedSAP information to be viewed on an e-reader, tablet, iOS or Android smart phone.

Continuing Pharmacy Education Credit
The American College of Clinical Pharmacy is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) as a provider of continuing pharmacy education.

BCPPS Recertification Credit
