The latest release in ACCP’s popular Pharmacotherapy Self-Assessment Program (PSAP) focuses on understanding the COVID-19 pandemic as well as providing crucial updates to the management of common immune disorders and pain. The target audience for PSAP 2022 Book 2 (Current Issues in Pharmacotherapy) is pharmacotherapy specialists and advanced level clinical pharmacists managing diverse patient populations.

Current Issues in Pharmacotherapy contains four learning modules with a total available 21.0 continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. The book content was developed under the leadership of Faculty Panel Chair Nathan P. Clark, Pharm.D., FCCP, BCPS.

The first learning module includes chapters on epidemiology, managing COVID-19 in adults, and prevention and treatment of COVID-related thrombosis. The second module provides an evidence-based update in the management of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus and provides an in-depth review on the current state of biosimilars. The third module focuses on chronic pain management as well as ophthalmic disorders. Current Issues in Pharmacotherapy concludes with interactive cases covering the management of emergent drug shortages in addition to toxicology and poison control cases.

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

• Traditional review-style chapters
• Interactive cases (a series of webpages, each introduced by a sample case-based question)
• Recorded webcast (PowerPoint presentation; includes PDF of the transcribed narrative)

Every PSAP 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. Chapters in each release are also provided in audio form (MP3 files) as the popular PSAP Audio Companion. For an additional fee, a one-color softbound print book can be added to these formats and shipped to your address.

All PSAP chapters 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.
