Activity Overview
The Literature Study Module is intended for board certified pharmacists in need of recertification credit and is designed based on the content outline developed by the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS). This module consists of 2 online home study activities. Each activity is designed to assess the learners’ ability to analyze and apply peer-selected contemporary articles to practice.
Module 1A: Cardiology / Trauma
This module focuses on current issues in the management of cardiovascular and trauma related emergencies. Topics include arrhythmias, acute pulmonary edema, and acute traumatic hemorrhage.
Module 1B: Neurology / Critical Care
This module focuses on current issues in the management of neurologic emergencies and critically ill patients. Topics include acute cerebral hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, rapid sequence intubation, and life-threatening toxicity due to poisonings.
Learners will be required to review the content and complete the associated online assessments. The learner must be able to correctly answer the questions based upon their interpretation of the content, as well as “baseline specialty specific knowledge and/or easily retrievable information.” For purposes of this Literature Study, “baseline specialty specific knowledge and/or easily retrievable information” is defined as product labeling and well-established standards of practice in the specialty practice.
These activities are part of the ACCP and ASHP professional development program for BCEMP recertification approved by BPS.
Target Audience
These Literature Studies are designed to help board-certified pharmacists who are seeking recertification credit hours to maintain their Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) Certification.

Methods and CE Requirements
Continuing Pharmacy Education Credit
To be eligible to earn continuing pharmacy education credit, learners must purchase the product, review all content, successfully complete, submit and pass the web-based posttest associated with each module within the course by July 17, 2027. Only completed assessments will be eligible for credit; no partial or incomplete assessments will be processed.
National Association of Boards of Pharmacy - CPE Monitor Service
Provided through the collaborative efforts of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and ACPE-accredited providers, the CPE Monitor Service allows you to electronically keep track of continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits from ACPE-accredited providers. ACPE-accredited providers, like ACCP, are responsible for transmitting this information to NABP to be stored in the CPE Monitor system. Statements of credit will be available at CPE Monitor, nabp.pharmacy/cpe-monitor-service/, within 2–3 business days after completion of this activity. For more information on CPE Monitor please visit nabp.pharmacy/cpe-monitor-service/.
To transfer these credits to CPE Monitor on your behalf your NABP e-Profile ID Number and date of birth must be listed on your ACCP account. To verify or update this information in your ACCP account, visit Licensure/Certification. Be sure to save your changes at the bottom of the page.
Some international pharmacists do not use the CPE Monitor service. To verify or update this information in your ACCP account, visit Licensure/Certification. Check the box “I am an international pharmacist or I am not licensed to practice in the United States, and do not have an NABP e-Profile ID.” Be sure to save your changes at the bottom of the page.
Recertification Credit
Board certified pharmacists are eligible to receive up to 10 hours of recertification credit for completing this activity. To be eligible to earn BCEMP recertification credit, participants must purchase the recertification version of this course, review all content, successfully complete, submit and pass the Web-based posttest associated with each module by July 15, 2025. Only completed assessments will be eligible for credit; no partial or incomplete assessments will be processed.
The passing point to earn BCEMP recertification credit is based on an expert analysis of the assessment items in each posttest module. Any posttest submitted before the Specialty Recertification Credit posttest deadline that meets this passing point will earn BCEMP recertification credits. These credits will be assigned as of the date of test submission.
All participants must have a Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) board certification credential number, BPS ID Number, and a BPS expiration date on file with ACCP for reporting purposes. To verify or update this information in your ACCP account, visit Licensure/Certification. Be sure to save your changes at the bottom of the page.
