The next release in ACCP’s popular Pharmacotherapy Self-Assessment Program focuses on evidence-based practice considerations on the management of several important gastroenterologic disease considerations and nutritional and fluid disorders, as well as point-of-care testing. GI/Fluids and Nutrition contains three learning modules with a total available 14.5 continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits.

The book content was developed under the leadership of Faculty Panel Chair Juliana Chan, Pharm.D., FCCP, BCACP.

The first module reviews Selected Infections of the GI Tract and Liver, then describes the latest evidence and guidelines on Pancreatitis. Chapters in the second module cover Peptic Ulcer Disease and POC Testing in Gastroenterology and Hepatology. The third module explores malabsorption Syndromes, Electrolyte Disorders and Emergencies, and Pharmacy-Based POC Testing and Reimbursement.

All PSAP chapters are fully referenced and include online links to literature compilers such as PubMed. Hypertext links provide ready access to clinical practice guidelines, official recommendations, and patient assessment tools. New graphic features focus on pivotal studies, patient care scenarios, and take-home points that can be readily integrated into clinical practice. Multimedia elements include instructional videos and MP3 audio files.
