About this exam
The Board Certified Critical Care Pharmacist (BCCCP) Examination is a specialty certification exam from the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS). It assesses whether pharmacists have the advanced knowledge and judgment needed to provide patient care in intensive care and other critical care settings. Candidates commonly include pharmacists who have completed relevant postgraduate training or developed substantial critical care practice experience. Eligibility pathways and documentation requirements can change, so review the current BPS candidate materials before applying.
BCCCP exam preparation spans assessment and pharmacotherapy planning, critical care pharmacokinetics and drug dosing, sepsis and septic shock, and antimicrobial therapy and stewardship. Candidates should also be ready to apply clinical knowledge to complex cases, including medication selection, monitoring, safety, and changes in a critically ill patient's condition. The exam is computer-based and uses multiple-choice questions; consult the current BPS examination resources for the confirmed format, content outline, and administration details. A focused review plan should build both breadth and clinical decision-making skills.
How to prepare for the BCCCP exam
- Use the current BPS content outline to organize a study schedule, then prioritize weaker areas such as pharmacokinetics, sepsis management, antimicrobial selection, and critical care pharmacotherapy planning.
- Practice applying concepts to patient cases under timed conditions. After each session, review why the correct choice fits and why alternatives are less appropriate, especially for dosing, monitoring, and treatment changes.
- Check the BPS candidate handbook and official exam resources for current eligibility rules, application procedures, content details, and exam format; use authoritative clinical references to resolve gaps in your review.
