In addition, we've created a section on the rapidly growing topic of Pharmacogenomics.

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.

I wanted to remember the really important stuff because I know it is impossible to know every minute detail. BCGP Bullets, the Condensed BCGP Study Guide will help prepare you for the exam as well as help you maximize your study time. We have covered over 100+ disease states with critical clinical pearls, like drugs of choice, drug interactions, disease state education, and geriatric-specific nuggets for certain medications. Biostatistics basics, important geriatric terminology, social, financial, and emotional considerations are also included in this book. Items like elder abuse, advanced directives, and power of attorney show up in the content outline and we have also outlined the basics of this terminology.

Fundamentals of Geriatric Pharmacotherapy by Lisa C. Hutchison,Rebecca B. Sleeper Pdf

A change is coming. By 2050, the world's 65-and-older population will double, and the 85 and older population will mushroom fivefold. As the number of older adults surge, so too will the number of medication management challenges pharmacists and other health care providers experience. For the geriatric population, complex cases are often the norm, and providing safe and effective care can mean considering assessments of function and cognition, contacting multiple prescribers, and understanding a patient's history, beliefs, and care giving situation before making therapeutic decisions. Fundamentals of Geriatric Pharmacotherapy: An Evidence-Based Approach gives practitioners the information they need to improve outcomes and personalize care for elderly patients. Section 1 explores important foundational concepts such as social and behavioral issues, ethical considerations, biomedical principles of aging, geriatric assessment, and polypharmacy. Section 2 covers common disease states in aging adults, providing evidence-based treatment information as well as helpful tips for minimizing common problems and contending with clinical controversies. Particular attention is given to how treatment can differ along the spectrum of active elderly to frail elderly patients. Useful features throughout the book guide practitioners in navigating the maze of information required when caring for an older patient. These include: Summarized treatment guidelines Reviews of the evidence-base Special focus on recommendations for frail elderly At least one full case study, or more, in each chapter Clinical Pearls Key Points highlight important information in each chapter Key terms and definitions The demands of an aging population mean a greater understanding of geriatric pharmacotherapy will soon be essential for all health care providers. Fundamentals of Geriatric Pharmacotherapy ensures that you'll have the information needed to respond appropriately.

Clinical Pharmacist's Guide to Biostatistics and Literature Evaluation by Robert DiCenzo Pdf

Whether you are interpreting the medical literature to optimize patient care, improve health outcomes, or generate hypothesis for research, an understanding of biostatistics is essential for success. Despite exposure to biostatistics in undergraduate and professional education, pharmacists tend to be less confident in their knowledge of biostatistics and their ability to interpret the medical literature than in their clinical skills. This book was developed to bolster the pharmacist's knowledge and confidence for using biostatistical tools for interpreting the literature. With material drawn from ACCP's renowned Pharmacotherapy Self-Assessment Program (PSAP) and the live pharmacotherapy preparatory course Updates in Therapeutics, editor Robert DiCenzo, Pharm.D., FCCP, BCPS, has designed this review to support pharmacists' preparation for the Pharmacotherapy and Ambulatory Care Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) examinations.

MPJE Master: Federal Pharmacy Law Review by Eric Christianson Pdf

This is a must-have, quick review of federal pharmacy law, regulations, and agencies. This is perfect for anyone taking a state MPJE exam. If you are like most pharmacists or pharmacy students, you enjoy taking care of patients, identifying drug therapy problems, and making a difference by using your expert knowledge about medications. Unfortunately, having a basic understanding of laws, regulations, and regulatory agencies that impact the profession is a necessary evil. If you cannot pass the state law exam (MPJE), you can't work as a pharmacist and do all the really cool things that you've wanted to do (including pay off your student loans). MPJE Master: Federal Pharmacy Law Review was intended to simplify the process of learning pharmacy law. We've outlined critical components of federal pharmacy law that you will need to know to pass your MPJE exam. I was always the student in school that needed to highlight the most important information to remember and then I would memorize that information. Recalling information from a large textbook was always difficult for me. Rather than reading a textbook, we've supplied the information in easily digestible, bite-sized pieces. We've used bullet points to help you be able to quickly memorize important facts about each agency, regulation, law, etc. We've also created a super-helpful list of questions within the book to help you identify areas of pharmacy practice where state laws can often vary. This table is a list of questions that you can fill in as you read your respective states' laws and regulations. We've added this to ensure that you don't overlook the important differences in pharmacy laws across the United States. Whether you are a new graduate who needs to pass your law exam to begin your practice or a 20-year veteran who is moving to a new state, this review will absolutely help prepare you to pass your MPJE law exam and help you obtain your pharmacy license.

Have pharmacology test anxiety or a feeling of overwhelm? This fast and easy pharmacology review through pharmacology flash card mnemonics and fill-ins recognizes that many future nurses, doctors, physician assistants, and pharmacists (chemists) have families, jobs, and other responsibilities. Do you have time enough time to make 100% sure you will pass in the classroom or on the board exam? For most students taking the NCLEX, NAPLEX, USMLE Step-1, PANCE, GPHC, or KAPS exam, the answer is no. I wrote this mnemonic guide as an audiobook first to help you remember pharmacology drug names and principles quickly. While in the classroom you professors might say memorization doesn't matter, but you can't bring outside material to the board exam, so for this test, you do need to work on memory training. You already know the consequences of failing a class or board exam, so let's make sure that doesn't happen by getting pharmacology organized in your head once and for all.

NAPLEX Nuggets by Eric Christianson Pdf

I remember what it was like to study for the NAPLEX. Overwhelming doesn't begin to describe the feeling. Where do you start? How do you prioritize and review for this gigantic exam? When I am preparing to take pharmacy exams, I have a very difficult time learning and retaining information from massive review books. I find myself reading for 5-10 minutes and my mind begins to wander, retaining nothing of what I just read. After years of practice and test taking (NAPLEX, BCPS, CGP etc.), I have found that I learn most efficiently by memorizing information in short important bullet points. In this study guide, I have selected the most commonly used medication classes and have provided you with my most highly testable pearls on each class. In this book, I cover over 150 medication classes which includes nearly 400 medications! I have created bullet points which will help you review more efficiently and not waste your limited study time. This resource is not intended to be a package insert for every medication, but rather a way to try to prioritize your study process and understand the major "nuggets" of information that you must know to help you pass the NAPLEX. The intent is to give you a brief, incredibly helpful review of the most important medications you will likely be tested on the NAPLEX exam. I truly hope this book helps you pass the NAPLEX the first time! NAPLEX is a registered trademark of NABP. Meded101 and this study guide are not affiliated or endorsed by NABP or the NAPLEX Exam.
