This two-day course provides a robust preparatory curriculum for the ambulatory care pharmacy professional preparing for 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 the ambulatory care pharmacy issues by:

• Reviewing pertinent clinical topics and practice skills through patient case studies


• Providing exam practice questions


• Listing valuable resources for further self-study

RECERTIFICATION: This course is also eligible for recertification credit after successful completion of an online assessment which will be available four weeks after the live course. Of special note: if you participated in this review course in 2010–2011, you are not eligible to claim this 2012 course for recertification credit for this year.
