Activity Overview
The Literature Study Module is intended for board certified pharmacists in need of recertification credit and is designed based on the content outline developed by the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS). This module consists of 2 online home study activities (see table below). Each activity is designed to assess the learners’ ability to analyze and apply peer-selected contemporary articles to practice.
Module 1A – Guidelines, Consensus Reports, and Policy: This module focuses on recent guidelines, consensus reports and policy publications. Topics include antibiotic prophylaxis in injury, hyperglycemic crisis, hyperemesis syndrome, and hypertension.
Module 1B – Clinical Updates and Practice Management: This module includes a variety of therapeutic areas. Topics include analgesia in traumatic pain, antibiotics in pediatric sepsis, intracerebral hemorrhage, and nebulized medications.
Learners will be required to review the content and complete the associated online assessments. The learner must be able to correctly answer the questions based upon their interpretation of the content, as well as “baseline specialty specific knowledge and/or easily retrievable information.” For purposes of this Literature Study, “baseline specialty specific knowledge and/or easily retrievable information” is defined as product labeling and well-established standards of practice in the specialty practice.
These activities are part of the ASHP and ACCP professional development program for BCEMP recertification approved by the BPS.
