Mark your calendar for the increasingly popular “Oncology Pharmacy Preparatory Review Course,” which will be held in San Antonio, Texas, April 28–30, 2011. This program is designed to help pharmacists prepare for the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) Oncology Pharmacy Specialty Certification Examination, which will be offered in October 2011. Even if you are not planning to sit for the BPS examination, you may still be interested in assessing your knowledge and skills in the area by taking advantage of this advanced specialty program. The course provides an excellent review for oncology practitioners seeking to remain current in all aspects of this practice area.

This course is accredited for 22.5 contact hours of continuing pharmacy education (CPE) by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education, and it has been approved by BPS for recertification credit for Board-Certified Pharmacists. Course enrollment is limited to 300 participants, so be sure to register early to reserve your place—the 2010 course sold out early. To take advantage of the discounted early registration fee, register by March 25, 2011.

The course will take place at the San Antonio Marriott Riverwalk Hotel, located in the heart of downtown San Antonio on the famous San Antonio River Walk. The Marriott offers exceptional service and modern amenities in a leisurely environment. Hotel reservations will be accepted until March 31, 2011 (or until the group block sells out, whichever occurs first).

The “Oncology Pharmacy Preparatory Review Course” is part of a professional development program offered by the American College of Clinical Pharmacy and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. Please visit the ACCP Web site, www.accp.com, for complete meeting details.
