ACCP is pleased to announce that the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) has approved ACCP’s newly designed professional development programs in ambulatory care pharmacy, critical care pharmacy, oncology pharmacy, pediatric pharmacy, and pharmacotherapy for the recertification of board-certified pharmacists for 7 years, beginning in 2016.
ACCP’s newly designed professional development programs provide expanded professional development components in an effort to provide more opportunities and variety for board-certified pharmacists to earn recertification credit.
Each recertification program offers a variety of components, in both live and home study formats, providing board-certified pharmacists with a comprehensive refresher plus emerging and contemporary information related to the specialty. In addition, there will be many opportunities to earn the required number of recertification credit hours. Each program has been designed to address the domains, tasks, and knowledge statements as delineated by each respective BPS Specialty Council and the published examination content outline.
Included in each professional development program is a self-assessment program, a preparatory review course, live activities held in conjunction with the ACCP Annual Meeting, and a variety of webinars. In addition, ACCP has collaborated with the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) for Oncology Pharmacy and the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) for Critical Care Pharmacy in an effort to provide expanded opportunities across multiple platforms and meetings.
