Mark your calendar for the increasingly popular Oncology Pharmacy Preparatory Review Course, to take place in San Diego, California, May 20–22, 2010. This program is designed to help pharmacists prepare for the Board of Pharmaceutical Specialties (BPS) Oncology Pharmacy Specialty Certification Examination, to be offered in October 2010. 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 this practice area.

The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education accredits this course for 22.5 contact hours of continuing pharmacy education, and BPS has approved it for recertification credit for Board-Certified Pharmacists. Course enrollment is limited to 300 participants, so be sure to register early to reserve your place—the 2009 course sold out early. Registering by April 20, 2010, will allow you to take advantage of the discounted early registration fee. Total course registration is limited to 300 participants.

The course will take place at The Westin Gaslamp Quarter, a luxury hotel located in the heart of downtown San Diego’s historic and vibrant Gaslamp Quarter. Hotel reservations will be accepted until April 21, 2010 (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 and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. Visit the ACCP Web site, www.accp.com, for complete meeting details.
