ACCP and ASHP have expanded their established collaboration in board certification review and recertification in Oncology Pharmacy to include four additional specialties recognized by the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS): Ambulatory Care Pharmacy, Cardiology Pharmacy, Geriatric Pharmacy, and Infectious Diseases Pharmacy.
Through this collaboration, ACCP members will have access to the board review and recertification resources developed by both organizations in both live and home study formats at member prices. These educational resources will become available to ACCP members later in 2019.
