Mark your calendar for the 2009 Oncology Pharmacy Preparatory Review Course, which will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, May 14–16, 2009. The program is designed to help you prepare for the BPS Oncology Pharmacy Specialty Certification Examination that will be offered in October 2009. Even if you are not planning to sit for the BPS examination, you may still be interested in assessing your knowledge and skills in the area by taking advantage of this advanced specialty program. The course is an excellent review for oncology practitioners seeking to remain current in all aspects of their practice area. The Board of Pharmaceutical Specialties has also approved this course for recertification credit for Board-Certified Oncology Pharmacists. Course enrollment is limited to 250 participants. Registration opens February 2009. Register early to reserve your place—the 2008 course sold out early.

The course will take place at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore, in the heart of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Reservations will be accepted November 5, 2008–April 13, 2009 (or until the group block sells out, whichever occurs first).

This course is part of a professional development program offered by the American College of Clinical Pharmacy, the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, and the Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association.
