Continuing its long history of providing recertification products for the Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist, ACCP will launch the new edition of the Pharmacotherapy Self-Assessment Program (PSAP) on January 15, 2013.

Now entering its third decade, PSAP remains committed to its mission of providing the BCPS with the latest evidence-based updates in focused therapeutic areas. This premier home study program provides information in an easy-to-access format that enables the pharmacotherapy specialist to immediately integrate it into clinical practice.

Subscribers to the eighth edition will notice several new features designed to enhance learning and promote application of updates to patient care. These changes include:

• Condensed releases that offer complete coverage of the BCPS topic areas in only two books per year (January and July).
• In-text references to the most recent primary literature (past 3–5 years).
• Hyperlinks to guidelines, online tools, and other pharmacy resources.
• New graphic features that translate evidence-based updates directly to patient care, including Pivotal Study That May Change Practice, Patient Care Scenario, and Practice Points.
• Extension of the BCPS testing period from 3 months to 4 months.

The new PSAP edition will release six books from 2013 to 2015. The PSAP series will provide the BCPS with more than the required 120 continuing pharmacy education credits needed to recertify.
