About this exam
The Board Certified Cardiology Pharmacist (BCCP) Examination is a specialty certification exam for pharmacists who provide or support cardiovascular medication care. Offered through the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS), the credential recognizes advanced knowledge in cardiovascular pharmacotherapy; it is not an admissions test for pharmacy school or a clinical job. Candidates typically include pharmacists with relevant cardiovascular practice experience or postgraduate training. Eligibility depends on meeting BPS requirements, so review the current candidate guide for accepted pathways and documentation before applying.
BCCP exam preparation spans cardiovascular pharmacotherapy principles and evidence-based care, including heart failure across ejection-fraction phenotypes, acute coronary syndromes and antiplatelet therapy, and chronic coronary artery disease and antianginal treatment. Candidates should also be ready to apply evidence and patient-specific factors to medication decisions, rather than rely on memorized drug facts alone. The exam is computer-based and uses selected-response questions; consult the current BPS content outline and candidate materials for the official structure and subject weighting. A planned review schedule and timed question practice can help identify gaps.
How to prepare for the BCCP Examination
- Use the current BPS BCCP content outline to organize study time by domain, then prioritize weaker areas such as heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, and chronic coronary disease.
- Review cardiovascular guidelines and primary evidence alongside pharmacotherapy principles; practice applying recommendations to cases involving comorbidities, safety, and patient-specific treatment goals.
- Build in timed, selected-response practice and review every rationale, including questions answered correctly by guessing. Check the current BPS candidate guide for eligibility, exam format, and application requirements.
