Some time last Fall, nestled between my busy Cardiac ICU and Emergency Dept learning experiences I managed to squeeze in some time to take a BPS exam in pharmacotherapy. It was a blur, and I had a lot of responsibilities to occupy my time and not stress about whether I passed, etc. I was fortunate to receive a random email in mid-November informing me to check out the testing administration website. So yea, BCPS certified!!!
Then one of my pharmacy mentors asked what my plans for recertification are? record scratching noise... Wait what?
I think I had read about recertification in the extensive manual prior to signing up for the BCPS exam; but the information had not stayed with me. I was familiar with other programs from some of my clinical learning experiences as a student and resident; then the email for ASHP's recert program and was fortunate to be selected as an ambassador for this program. I look forward to beginning my recertification journey with the ASHP intensive study - let the learning begin!
