If you talk to anyone who's taken the BCPS exam, you'll quickly understand that the BCPS exam will likely be the most challenging exam you'll ever take. You need all the resources you can get to make sure you are prepared! In addition to the exam being very difficult, you are likely a busy professional with very minimal free time. I've always had a hard time staying focused while studying from large review article-type study guides and have squandered hours reading while retaining very little. This book is intended to be a crash course/cheat sheet overview of the most highly testable material. I wanted to remember the really important stuff because I know it is impossible to know every minute detail. BCPS Bullets, the Condensed BCPS Study Guide will help prepare you for the exam as well as help you maximize your study time. We covered over 100+ disease states straight from the BCPS content outline provided by BPS and included important pearls for each condition including assessments, risk factors, most commonly used drugs of choice, must-know adverse effects, miscellaneous clinical pearls, 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 for becoming a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist. The book is over 300+ pages, but it is in bullet point format, and very easy to digest multiple disease states in a sitting. There is also some white space around the margins to take additional notes or highlight essential information to remember. As many of you are aware of the content outline, the BCPS exam is not all clinical. In addition to the disease states on the BCPS content outline, we've also included sections on biostatistics as well as important regulatory issues. I can assure you that there is no doubt this book will help in your preparation for becoming a BCPS pharmacist in 2023! The Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist (BCPS) is a designation from the Board of Pharmacy Specialties.
