ACCP’s Clinical Reasoning Series returns in 2013 with two unique programs designed to advance the knowledge and skills of the board-certified specialist. Held on October 12 in conjunction with the Annual Meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico, these live educational programs will explore cutting-edge topics of relevance to everyday practice and employ active learning exercises to enhance clinical reasoning skills. Each program will provide 6.0 continuing pharmacy education credit hours that can be used toward recertification.
Delivered by nationally known experts in their field, these two new and innovative programs will examine the latest in scientific findings and trends in analyzing clinical evidence that help inform patient care. “From Theory to Bedside: Clinical Reasoning Series” and “From Theory to Practice: Clinical Reasoning Series in Ambulatory Care Pharmacy” are approved by the Board of Pharmacy Specialties for the recertification of BCPSs and BCACPs, respectively.
