The Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) currently recognizes the following six specialty practice areas:
- Ambulatory Care Pharmacy
- Nuclear Pharmacy
- Nutrition Support Pharmacy
- Oncology Pharmacy
- Pharmacotherapy
- Psychiatric Pharmacy
The American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) offers preparatory review courses for three of the specialties: Ambulatory Care Pharmacy, Pharmacotherapy, and Oncology Pharmacy.
ACCP also offers BPS-approved recertification professional development programs for two of the specialties: Oncology Pharmacy (in conjunction with the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists and the Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association), Pharmacotherapy, and Ambulatory Care Pharmacy.
ACCP Efforts to Expand Pharmacy Specialty Recognition
ACCP has established a web page to help members learn more about the specialist recognition process and to track the College’s progress toward achieving recognition of new clinical pharmacy specialties.
