Infectious Diseases Self-Assessment Program (IDSAP)


What is IDSAP?

The Infectious Diseases Self-Assessment Program (IDSAP) provides annual releases every May. IDSAPs assist clinical pharmacists in analyzing the latest evidence-based information (past 3–5 years) and translating that information into practice to improve patient outcomes.

Each IDSAP release contains a group of continuing education activities. This content is provided as an electronic book (interactive PDF) in up to three formats, as appropriate to the topic:

  • Traditional chapters review the most recent published evidence on a topic
  • Case Series feature sections of learning content that are bookended by a sample case and its explained answer
  • Recorded Webcasts comprise an MP4 PowerPoint presentation along with a PDF of the slides and transcribed narrative

Pharmacists can use IDSAP to develop and assess their knowledge in the science and application of critical care pharmacy. This information can be integrated into structured training programs or assist advanced-level practitioners in maintaining their clinical competence.

How is an IDSAP release developed?

The IDSAP Series Editors design each release by drawing from the domains, tasks, and knowledge statements in the BPS Infectious Diseases Pharmacist Content Outline/Classification System. Working with a Faculty Panel Chair (guest editor), the Series Editors ensure that only the most relevant topics are updated in each release.

CPE Credit

The American College of Clinical Pharmacy is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) as a provider of continuing pharmacy education (CPE)

The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education with Commendation.

The American College of Clinical Pharmacy is approved by the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) as a provider for the recertification of BCIDP.

BPS is an autonomous division of the American Pharmacists Association. To maintain its strict, independent standards for certification, BPS does NOT endorse or provide review information, preparatory courses, or study guides for board certification examinations. BPS, through its specialty councils, is responsible for specialty examination content, administration, scoring, and all other aspects of its certification programs. BPS is totally separate and distinct from ACCP. For information about BPS specialty recertification the BPS recertification process, go to: www.bpsweb.org/

To receive recertification credit, posttests must be submitted prior to the recertification posttest deadline (see above). Only completed tests are eligible for credit; no partial or incomplete tests will be processed. You may complete one or all available posttests for credit.

The passing point to earn recertification credit is based on an expert analysis of the assessment items in each posttest. Any posttest submitted before the recertification test deadline that meets this passing point will earn recertification credits. These credits will be assigned as of the date of test submission and reported within 48 hours to BPS. For statements of recertification credit, visit www.bpsweb.org.

In accordance with BPS guidelines concerning remediation for products launched in 2024 and after, posttests that do not reach the passing point for recertification credit will generate a second-chance test option. This test will automatically appear in the learner’s My Account page and will have assessment items presented in a different order. To qualify for recertification credit, the second-chance test must be submitted before the recertification deadline stated above.

The ACCP Recertification Dashboard is a free online tool that can track recertification credits as they are earned through ACCP and schedule new opportunities for credits from upcoming ACCP professional development programs. Questions regarding the number of hours required for recertification should be directed to BPS at www.bpsweb.org.
