BCEMP Clinical Session — Code Blue to Resus Bay: Optimizing Pharmacist Impact in Resuscitation Care

Emergency medicine pharmacists are, at baseline, relied upon for medication preparation but may not always be knowledgeable or confident contributing to the differential diagnosis or providing education at the bedside during a resuscitation event. Following this session, emergency medicine pharmacists will feel empowered to contribute to care of patients in cardiac arrest  through both direct patient care and education of other members of the care team. In this role, emergency medicine pharmacists can influence not only individual patient care through the resuscitations they are directly involved in, but also contribute to sustainable positive impacts in care.

This activity is approved for Board Certified Emergency Medicine Pharmacist (BCEMP) recertification credit.

The BCEMP Clinical Sessions are part of the professional development program for the recertification of board-certified Emergency Medicine pharmacists by the Board of Pharmacy Specialties and jointly provided by ACCP and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). In order to earn the BCEMP recertification credit, participants must attend the session, claim continuing pharmacy education credit, and pass the associated posttest(s).

For participants who have not purchased access to the posttests, access can be purchased until 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20th, at the ACCP Registration Desk.
