ACCP is pleased to announce publication of the first edition of its new Solid Organ Transplantation Self-Assessment Program (SOTSAP). Released on November 15, 2024, the inaugural issue, SOTSAP 2024, offers 10 chapters and features on several topics related to solid organ transplantation.

Series Editors Maya Campara, Pharm.D., FCCP, FAST, BCTXP, and Jennifer K. McDermott, Pharm.D., FAST, BCTXP, BCPS, worked closely with Faculty Panel Chair Lyndsey J. Bowman, Pharm.D., FCCP, FAST, BCPS, BCTXP, to create a first issue that practitioners could use both as a recertification program and in their daily practices.

“We are thrilled to share this invaluable resource with fellow solid organ transplant pharmacists,” all three said in a joint statement, adding:

This book not only offers in-depth insights and practical strategies that are essential for optimizing patient care and advancing our field, but also provides 36.5 continuing pharmacy education credits. We believe this book, created by solid organ transplant pharmacists, will be an asset to our practice.

• Updates in Transplant Outcome Measures and Biomarkers
• Transplant Drug Development and Novel Immunomodulatory Agents
