The book contains five learning modules with a total available 19.5 continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. The content of Gastrointestinal and Nutrition Care was developed under the leadership of Faculty Panel Chair Shubha Bhat, Pharm.D., MS, FCCP, BCACP.

Chapters in the first module provide updates on the therapeutic advances and management of hepatitis B and C as well as inflammatory bowel disease. The second module focuses on irritable bowel syndrome and celiac disease. The third module encompasses a comprehensive review on bariatric surgery and medication-related considerations in the setting of this procedure. The fourth module includes timely updates relating to Clostridioides difficile infection and weight management. The fifth module contains two interactive cases focused on proton pump inhibitor deprescribing and over-the counter treatment for gastrointestinal disorders. Also included in this module is a recorded webcast on nausea and vomiting.

Each ACSAP release has continuing education activities that cover the most recent published data (past 3–5 years) on a specific therapeutic area or patient-care problem. This content is provided as an electronic book (interactive PDF) with high-level updates designed, as appropriate to the topic, in three formats:

  • Traditional review-style chapters
  • Interactive cases (a series of webpages, each introduced by a sample case-based question)
  • Recorded webcast (PowerPoint presentation; includes PDF of the transcribed narrative)

ACSAP chapters and features are fully referenced, with clickable hyperlinks to literature compilers such as PubMed. Other links provide ready access to clinical practice guidelines, official recommendations, and patient assessment tools. Graphics focus on pivotal studies, patient care scenarios, and take-home points that can be readily integrated into clinical practice. Included with every purchase is an e-media version you can view on an e-reader, tablet, and iOS or Android smart phone.
