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.

CPE Credit

The American College of Clinical Pharmacy is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education.

The American College of Clinical Pharmacy is approved by BPS as a provider for the recertification of BCPS.

BPS is an autonomous division of the American Pharmacists Association. To maintain its strict, independent standards for certification, BPS does NOT endorse or provide review information, preparatory courses, or study guides for board certification examinations. BPS, through its specialty councils, is responsible for specialty examination content, administration, scoring, and all other aspects of its certification programs. BPS is totally separate and distinct from ACCP. For information about BPS specialty recertification the BPS recertification process, go to: www.bpsweb.org/

To receive recertification credit, posttests must be submitted prior to the recertification posttest deadline (see above). Only completed tests are eligible for credit; no partial or incomplete tests will be processed. You may complete one or all available posttests for credit.

The passing point to earn recertification credit is based on an expert analysis of the assessment items in each posttest. Any posttest submitted before the recertification test deadline that meets this passing point will earn recertification credits. These credits will be assigned as of the date of test submission and reported within 48 hours to BPS. For statements of recertification credit, visit www.bpsweb.org.

In accordance with BPS guidelines concerning remediation for products launched in 2024 and after, posttests that do not reach the passing point for recertification credit will generate a second-chance test option. This test will automatically appear in the learner’s My Account page and will have assessment items presented in a different order. To qualify for recertification credit, the second-chance test must be submitted before the recertification deadline stated above.

The ACCP Recertification Dashboard is a free online tool that can track recertification credits as they are earned through ACCP and schedule new opportunities for credits from upcoming ACCP professional development programs. Questions regarding the number of hours required for recertification should be directed to BPS at www.bpsweb.org.
