Book excerpt: Simply put, this BCGP review from Meded101 will help you pass your exam and become a Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist. I've worked my entire career in geriatrics and wanted to share some of that clinical knowledge with you as well as provide you an incredibly valuable study guide. Studying for a pharmacist board certification exam can be overwhelming. It's likely been a few years since you've taken an exam and the last thing you want to do is fail! The next to last thing you want to do is to try to find 3-6 months to study for the exam. As a father with two small children, I realize how valuable time is. What was frustrating to me about preparing for the Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist (BCGP) exam, formerly the Certified Geriatric Pharmacist (CGP) exam as well as the BCPS exam was that the study material was not to the point. I felt like I needed to read thousands of pages to be adequately prepared. Recognizing that challenge of time management as a busy professional, I wanted to create the ultimate review for the BCGP exam that won't take you months to get through. I wanted to give you the most important bullet points you need to know to best prepare for the exam. I utilized the BCGP outline to create this study guide. It breaks down nearly 80 of the most important geriatric disease states. In this breakdown I include information about the signs and symptoms, complications, risk factors, and of course the main drugs of therapy for each disease. I also break down the most important clinical pearls from the drugs of choice for each disease state. Within the medications to know breakdown for each disease state, you will find clinical pearls, important adverse effects, drug-disease and drug-drug interaction information, and essential compelling indications. While this review specifically follows the content outline for the BCGP (CGP) exam, pharmacists seeking Board Certification in Pharmacotherapy (BCPS) or those seeking Board Certification in Ambulatory Care (BCACP) may also benefit from the clinical information within this study guide. The Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist, Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist, and Board Certified Ambulatory Care Pharmacist are designations from the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS).
