Due to popular demand, the original BCPS Bullets has been adapted for the ambulatory care pharmacist preparing to pass the Board Certified Ambulatory Care Pharmacist (BCACP) exam. With historical passing rates in the 60% range, the BCACP exam is one of the most challenging exams you will ever take in your life. To top it off, you are likely busy with your own life and free time to study is minimal to none. I've always had a hard time staying focused while studying from large review article type material and have squandered hours reading and felt like I retained nothing. I wanted to remember the really important stuff, because I know it is impossible to know every minute detail. BCACP Bullets, the Condensed BCACP Study Guide will help prepare you for the exam as well as help you maximize your study time. We covered over 100+ disease states, and included important pearls for each condition including assessments, risk factors, most commonly used drugs of choice, must know adverse effects, notorious drug interactions, warnings and precautions, and of course, relevant labs. I wanted to cover each disease state in 1-2 pages to try to ensure you are reviewing the most relevant content. We did go over 2 pages on some disease states, but we did our best to keep the information concise and critical for you to know in your preparation becoming a BCACP pharmacist. The book is over 300+ pages, but it is very easy to digest multiple disease states at a time. As many of you are aware from the content outline, the BCACP exam is not all clinical. In addition to the disease states on the BCACP content outline, we've also included sections on biostatistics, pearls for ambulatory practice including billing codes, as well as important regulatory issues. I can assure you that there is no doubt this book will help in your preparation to becoming BCACP certified! Best of luck on this challenging journey!
