PSAP 2025 Book 2 – Geriatrics (EPUB)

by Cynthia A. Sanoski, Pharm.D., FCCP, BCPS, Daniel M. Witt, Pharm.D., FCCP, BCPS
The management of effective pharmacotherapy for older adults requires a nuanced understanding of age-related physiologic changes, multimorbidity, and polypharmacy to optimize outcomes while minimizing the risks of medications. Geriatrics, the latest release in ACCP’s popular Pharmacotherapy Self-Assessment Program (PSAP), provides evidence-based strategies and clinical insights to enhance medication management across diverse care settings. The target audience for PSAP 2025 Book 2 (Geriatrics) includes geriatric pharmacotherapy specialists and advanced-level clinical pharmacists providing care for older adults with common health conditions associated with aging, especially as it relates to goals of care and end-of-life care considerations.
Geriatrics contains eight learning activities offering a total of 16.0 available continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. Each learning activity may be taken individually for CPE credit. The book content was developed under the leadership of Mary Barna Bridgeman, Pharm.D., FCCP, BCPS, BCGP, Clinical Professor, Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, Rutgers University, Piscataway, New Jersey and Internal Medicine Clinical Specialist, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Continuing education activities in PSAP cover the most recent published data (past 3–5 years) on a specific therapeutic area or patient-care problem. Learning content is provided as an electronic book (interactive PDF) with high-level updates in up to three formats, as appropriate to the topic:

Traditional chapters review the latest published evidence on a therapeutic or practice-related topic
Case series deliver learning content in sections, with each section bookended by a sample case and its explained answer
Recorded webcasts provide learning content as a PowerPoint presentation, accessed as an MP4 file as well as a PDF of slides and transcribed narrative

Every PSAP release comes in two full-color online formats: (1) interactive PDFs you can save to your desktop or print; and (2) an e-media version you can view on an e-reader, tablet, iOS or Android smart phone. Learning elements are also provided in audio form (MP3 files) as the popular PSAP Audio Companion. For an additional fee, a limited number of one-color softbound print books can be added to these formats and shipped to your address.
