The ACCP-ASHP Geriatric Pharmacy Preparatory Review and Recertification Course is an advanced, curriculum-driven educational initiative jointly developed by the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). Designed to align directly with the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) Geriatric Pharmacy Content Outline, this course serves a dual purpose: assisting clinical pharmacists preparing for the Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist (BCGP) specialty examination, and delivering rigorous, state-of-the-art continuing professional development for current specialists seeking recertification. The course emphasizes age-related pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic transformations, complex multimorbidity, deprescribing frameworks, palliative and end-of-life considerations, and evidence-based pharmacotherapeutic decision-making across ambulatory, acute care, post-acute, and long-term care environments.
Learning Objectives
-
Describe normal physiological aging processes and assess age-related alterations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics to optimize drug selection and individualized dosing.
-
Apply validated geriatric assessment tools, evaluate multimorbidity, and implement evidence-based deprescribing protocols to prevent inappropriate polypharmacy and adverse drug events.
-
Formulate patient-centered pharmacotherapy plans for chronic and acute cardiovascular disorders in older adults, including hypertension, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and ischemic heart disease.
-
Manage major neurocognitive and psychiatric conditions in the geriatric population, including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular and other dementias, behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), Parkinson’s disease, delirium, depression, and late-life anxiety.
-
Design comprehensive management strategies for metabolic, endocrine, and musculoskeletal disorders in older adults, focusing on diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and crystal arthropathies.
-
Evaluate and manage common geriatric syndromes, including falls, gait instability, urinary incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia, chronic constipation, and pressure ulcers.
-
Navigate end-of-life and palliative symptom management, addressing chronic non-cancer pain, neuropathic pain, dyspnea, and palliative sedation while recognizing regulatory requirements and ethical considerations.
-
Analyze clinical biostatistics, health-system quality improvement metrics, Medicare regulations, and evidence-based clinical study designs relevant to geriatric health-system pharmacy.
Target Audience
This course is designed for clinical pharmacists preparing for the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) Geriatric Pharmacy Specialty Certification Examination (BCGP), Board-Certified Geriatric Pharmacists seeking recertification, and healthcare professionals desiring a comprehensive, evidence-based review of pharmacotherapy and medication safety in older adults.
Best for Geriatricians, Internists, Family Medicine Physicians, Neurologists, Psychiatrists (Geriatric Psychiatrists), Cardiologists, Endocrinologists, Rheumatologists, Palliative Care Specialists, and Physiatrists (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialists).
