Although Tuesday, January 17, is the test submission deadline for the current releases in ACCP’s four self-assessment programs (SAPs), board-certified specialty pharmacists can receive 2016 credit by submitting a SAP test before midnight (CST) on December 31.

All recertification credits earned by completing a SAP posttest will be registered with the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) on the date of test submission. Credits earned from tests submitted January 1–17 will be registered as 2017 credits.
