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 3 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: Oncology and Immunology
This module focuses on cancer management in older patients as well as contemporary issues related to vaccines.
Module 1B: Current Topics
This module focuses on various topics including restless leg syndrome, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and deprescribing in older adults.
Module 1C: Guideline Updates
This module focuses on recent updates to guidelines for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia, aspirin use for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease, coronary artery revascularization, and falls in adults with cardiovascular disease.
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 BCGP 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.
