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.
Module 2A – Cardiology: This module focuses on cardiovascular issues including hypertension, myocardial infarction, and heart failure.
Module 2B – Guideline Updates: This module focuses on updates to guidelines and reviews on topics including helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic prophylaxis in injury and management of urinary tract infections, hyperglycemic crisis, and methods for estimating glomerular filtration rate.
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 professional development program for BCPS recertification approved by the BPS.
