In this episode, Ellie LaNou, PharmD, BCPS, is joined by Joanna Gillette, ACCP Director of Professional Development and Marketing; and Kristi Hofer, ASHP Senior Director of Board Certification Programs. Together, they discuss the relationship between BPS and the approved professional development programs that offer recertification activities for board-certified pharmacists. They discuss what collaboration between the organizations has looked like over the past (almost!) 50 years, how recertification programming is developed and has evolved, and their visions for the future.
