The latest release in ACCP’s popular Pharmacotherapy Self-Assessment Program (PSAP) provides important and comprehensive updates on topics in pulmonary and gastrointestinal diseases. The target audience for PSAP 2023 Book 3 (Pulmonary and Gastrointestinal Diseases) is pharmacotherapy specialists and advanced level clinical pharmacists whose practice involves the direct care and management of patients with pulmonary and /or gastrointestinal diseases.

Pulmonary and Gastrointestinal Diseases contains five 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 Suzanne G. Bollmeier, Pharm.D., FCCP, BCPS, AE-C.

The first learning module focuses on evidence-based updates in the management of patients with severe asthma as well as the treatment of allergic rhinitis. The second module discusses updates on management of cystic fibrosis as well as the treatment of viral, bacterial, and fungal pneumonia. The third module is focused on irritable bowel disease and drug-induced liver injury. Module four covers medical management after bariatric surgery for weight loss and includes an interactive feature on eosinophilic esophagitis. The final module is centered on current topics including an interactive case on treatment of pancreatitis as well as a recorded webcast on vaping-induced lung injury.

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.
