PedSAP 2016-2018

ACCP’s Self-Assessment Programs are home study series that provide clinical pharmacists with pertinent therapeutic updates to enhance their practice skills and improve patient outcomes.

PedSAP has been approved by the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) as a professional development activity for Board Certified Pediatric Pharmacy Specialist (BCPPS) recertification.

  • For Board Certified Critical Care Pharmacist (BCCCP) recertification, click here.
  • For Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist (BCPS) recertification, click here.

PedSAP is a series of continuing education activities that cover the latest information on a specific therapeutic area. Topics are drawn from the BPS content outline for the BCPPS certification examination, then the latest medical literature is reviewed for evidence-based updates to improve patient outcomes.

Pharmacists can use PedSAP to develop and assess their knowledge in the science and application of pharmacotherapy. This information can be integrated into structured training programs or assist advanced-level practitioners in maintaining their clinical competence.

Buck Manasco

Leading the new edition are Series Editor Marcia L. Buck, Pharm.D., FCCP, FPPAG, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, University of Virginia School of Medicine, Clinical Professor, Virginia Commonwealth University School of Pharmacy, Charlottesville, Virginia; and Series Editor Kalen B. Manasco, Pharm.D., BCPS, AE-C, Clinical Associate Professor, Pediatrics, University of Georgia College of Pharmacy Department of Clinical and Administrative Pharmacy, Augusta, Georgia.

Each PedSAP release is an online book made up of peer-reviewed chapters that update a specific therapeutic area. To help integrate this information into practice, chapters include the following, where appropriate:

  • In-text references to the latest research
  • Graphics that directly relate information to clinical practice
  • Full-color photographs, illustrations, and audio and video files
  • Hyperlinks to assessment tools, patient resources, and the latest guidelines
  • Algorithms and Practice Points (the take-home messages)

Learner self-assessment is by high-level, case-based, multiple-choice questions that test application of the material to real-world practice scenarios. Explained answers are a vital component of the learning process and include a detailed rationale for each self-assessment question with hyperlinks to citations that support optimal decision-making. For more on ACPE and BCPPS credit from PedSAP, see below.

The principal PedSAP release is an online book, provided as an interactive PDF that can be saved to the desktop or printed. The latest version of Adobe Reader (available free) offers functionality such as highlighting or adding “sticky notes” to the text. Intra-document and external links connect you immediately to the information you want and need. As each book is released, the online book is automatically added to your “My Account” page on the ACCP Web site. A required posttest must be submitted within 4 months of the release date to be eligible for BCPPS recertification credit.

In addition, the e-media version of PedSAP is included with any purchase. Perfect for “anywhere, anytime” access, the e-media allows PedSAP information to be viewed on an e-reader, tablet, iOS or Android smart phone.

Continuing Pharmacy Education Credit
ACPE

The American College of Clinical Pharmacy is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) as a provider of continuing pharmacy education. The number of continuing pharmacy education contact hours earned for successfully completing a posttest varies with each PedSAP module. The ACPE-approved continuing pharmacy education credit associated with each PedSAP module is available for 3 years after the date of release. All PedSAP releases are application-based activities.

BCPPS Recertification Credit

Subscribers seeking Board Certified Pediatric Pharmacy specialist (BCPPS) recertification credit from a PedSAP module must submit the required posttest by the posted deadline. Recertification credits earned from a passing score on an PedSAP module are forwarded to BPS. For statements of credit, visit www.mycpemonitor.net.

This eight-book PedSAP series is designed to provide sufficient opportunity for the 100 credits needed for BCPPS recertification by continuing education.

ACPE Continuing Pharmacy Education Credit
