The book contains four learning modules with a total available 16.5 continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. The content of Endocrinology Care was developed under the leadership of Faculty Panel Chair Nicole P. Albanese, Pharm.D., BCACP, CDCES.

Chapters in the first module provide updates on the therapeutic advances related to cardiorenal and weight management outcomes as well as acute diabetes management in type 2 diabetes. The second module focuses on diabetes technology and diabetes in pregnancy. The third module encompasses a comprehensive review on osteoporosis as well as a case series on thyroid disorders. The fourth module includes timely updates relating to gender-affirming care and a case series on obesity management.

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
  • Case series (major sections of learning content bookended by a sample case and its explained answer)
  • 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.
