This self-study activity serves as an educational tool for pharmacists seeking Board Certified Psychiatric Pharmacist (BCPP) Recertification credit and other pharmacists and healthcare providers seeking advanced education in patient management, disease state management, information management, and health policy and practice management in the field of psychiatric pharmacy.
The articles selected by CPNP Recertification Editorial Board for the Literature Analysis are based on a 7-year curriculum. This curriculum is developed using the Board of Pharmaceutical Specialties' Content Outline for the Psychiatric Pharmacy Specialty Certification Examination as a guideline. Since CPNP became the sole BCPP Recertification provider in 2008, the articles are chosen to cover the three content domains - Domain I: Patient Management, Domain 2: Information Management, Domain 3: Health Policy and Practice Management.
The Literature Analysis is a self-study, online only, application-based continuing pharmacy education (CPE) activity that releases March 7, 2018. An application-based CPE activity requires that participants apply the information learned. The examination for this product often features case studies requiring that the participant apply the principles learned through the readings. The Literature Analysis includes:
