The 2025 release in the Critical Care Self-Assessment Program (CCSAP) provides updates and best practice insights for pharmacists caring for patients with challenging scenarios and for advancing critical care pharmacy practice. The target audience for CCSAP 2025 is pharmacotherapy specialists and advanced-level clinical pharmacists whose responsibilities may include treating critically ill patients with a variety of complex underlying medical conditions and specific peri-procedural pharmacotherapy needs in a cost-effective and evidence-based manner.

This CCSAP release contains nine learning elements offering a total of 23.5 available continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. Each learning activity may be taken individually for CPE credit. The book content was developed under the leadership of Susan Hamblin, Pharm.D., FCCM, BCCCP.

 

Continuing education activities in CCSAP cover the most recent published data (past 3–5 years) on a specific therapeutic area or patient-care problem. Learning content is provided as an electronic book (interactive PDF) with high-level updates in up to three formats, as appropriate to the topic:

  • Traditional chapters review the most recent published evidence on a topic
  • Case series (sections of learning content, each bookended by a sample case and its explained answer)
  • Recorded webcast (a PowerPoint presentation provided as an MP4 file as well as a PDF of slides and transcribed narrative)

Every CCSAP release comes in two full-color online formats: (1) interactive PDFs you can save to your desktop or print; and (2) an e-media version you can view on an e-reader, tablet, iOS or Android smart phone.

 

All CCSAP activities 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. Graphic features focus on pivotal studies, patient care scenarios, and take-home points that can be readily integrated into clinical practice.

CPE Credit

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

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 and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists are approved by BPS as a provider for the recertification of BCCCP.

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.

Target Audience: The target audience for CCSAP 2025 is pharmacotherapy specialists and advanced-level clinical pharmacists whose responsibilities may include treating critically ill patients with a variety of complex underlying medical conditions and specific peri-procedural pharmacotherapy needs in a cost-effective and evidence-based manner.
