The book contains four learning modules with a total available 16.0 continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. The content of Women’s and Men’s Health was developed under the leadership of Faculty Panel Chair Veronica Vernon, Pharm.D., BCACP, BCPS, MSCP.

Chapters in the first module provide updates on pregnancy and lactation medication considerations and endometriosis treatment. The second module focuses on urological considerations, including the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary incontinence, and bladder dysfunction. The third module encompasses a comprehensive review on the prevention and management of sex-specific cancers and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic considerations related to sex and gender. The fourth module includes case series on pregnancy termination, male osteoporosis, and contraception.

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.
