Target Audience

BCPPs who are preparing to recertify by exam or via continuing education are the intended audience for this product. Learners seeking broad, knowledge-level coverage of the most common psychiatric, substance use, and neurologic illnesses and their pharmacotherapy along with biostatistics and regulatory aspects of practice will benefit from this course. The Review Course is not designed to develop more in-depth knowledge. This activity targets BCPPs who are visual learners, comfortable with individual, self-paced learning and who learn best from a structured, consistent set of materials with reference to additional learning materials. This product also serves as a thorough preparatory resource for pharmacists who are not credentialed but are sitting for the BCPP examination. BCPPs responsible for teaching/precepting others also note the value of this product long after completing it for their personal learning.

Content

The Review Course is a knowledge-based continuing pharmacy education (CPE) activity designed for pharmacists to acquire factual knowledge. Whether a certification candidate or a currently certified individual, the purpose of the Review Course is to assist the practitioner in developing and maintaining contemporary knowledge and skills. The Review Course is not designed to develop more in-depth "subspecialty" knowledge. Course content is structured to provide a comprehensive review of the three psychiatric pharmacy domains specified by the BCPP Specialty Council. Selection of the Review Course as part of the recertification plan ensures the BCPP has systematically reviewed and assessed core knowledge in the psychiatric specialty practice.
 
This course is a two-year product released at the start of even years (2024, 2026...). Credit may NOT be earned in consecutive years with the same edition of the book (i.e., credit may not be earned in both 2024 and 2025 with the same book edition).
 
The Psychiatric Pharmacotherapy Review Course includes:
  • A book (additional shipping fee required) containing comprehensive outlines of the topics noted in the curriculum section below. The outlines consist of objectives, thorough subject related content, comprehensive reference listings by topic, and self-assessment questions and answers.
  • An e-book version of the book hosted by VitalSource Bookshelf, a leading e-textbook solution. This e-book version allows you to take electronic notes as well as download the book to your desktop or mobile device for off line access.
  • For pharmacists, 20.0 contact hours of ACPE credit and 20.0 hours of recertification credit achieved by successfully completing the online AAPP recertification examination. BCPP Recertification credit is earned and reported within the year the assessment is successfully completed.
