Immunology, the debut release in the new Pediatric Self-Assessment Program (PedSAP), offers new learning formats for the Board Certified Pediatric Pharmacy Specialist (BCPPS).

Like ACCP’s other self-assessment programs (SAPs) for board specialty recertification, PedSAP presents review-style chapters with the latest evidence-based information to improve clinical skills and patient outcomes. Immunology has an available 9.0 BCPPS recertification credits.
