Planned by the ASHP Section of Clinical Specialists and Scientists
Get ready to take the next step in advancing your practice by earning your Pharmacotherapy Certification. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists is now offering pharmacists a way to better prepare for the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) Pharmacotherapy Certification Examination.
This two-day course provides a robust preparatory curriculum for the pharmacy professional planning to take the examination, offered in October. Designed based on the domains, tasks, and knowledge statements developed by BPS for the examination, the course will help you prepare for the exam by identifying areas needed for in-depth review of pharmacotherapy issues by:
- Reviewing pertinent clinical topics and practice skills
- Providing exam practice questions
- Listing valuable resources for further self-study
Pharmacists can confidently prepare for the BPS Pharmacotherapy Specialty Certification Examination with this cutting-edge educational program!
