Activity Description

The purpose of this recurring activity is to review a recent infectious disease article and critically evaluate study rationale and design, results, strengths/limitations of the research, and applicability of findings to clinical practice. This activity will be repeated on a quarterly basis with a focus on a different journal article and/or study design each time.

An open-access journal article will be selected for the activity, and a step-by-step commentary created by the faculty will be made accessible to participants. Participants are invited to read the selected article, review the downloadable commentary prepared by the faculty (click here to view a sample from a previous journal club activity), and successfully complete an online assessment to claim continuing education and/or BCIDP recertification credit.

Learning Objectives

The target audience for this activity includes pharmacists and board-certified infectious diseases pharmacists (BCIDPs) seeking to update their knowledge and skills related to contemporary infectious diseases literature review. At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

• Describe study rationale and design as it relates to a recent infectious diseases journal article.
• Summarize the statistical methods used by the investigators, including a rationale for the methods selected.
• Assess study results to form a conclusion about primary and secondary outcomes.
• Determine the clinical applicability of study findings while considering strengths and limitations of the research.

BCIDP

The Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists (SIDP) is accredited by the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) as a provider of board certified infectious diseases pharmacist (BCIDP) credit. A BCIDP statement of credit will be issued online upon successful completion of a post-test and online evaluation. The post-test must be successfully completed in only one attempt. No partial credit will be given. BCIDP accreditation begins 3/15/2021 for this activity and is available for one year from this date.

Recertification Criteria for Infectious Diseases Pharmacy: BCIDP recertifying via continuing education are required to earn 100 hours of continuing education credit provided by the joint program offered by the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists (SIDP), American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) and/or the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Specialty Recertification Courses offered by any of the approved providers may only be completed for recertification credit up to two times, in nonconsecutive years, during the 7-year recertification cycle. Candidates should note that there are expiration dates associated with earning BPS recertification credit. BPS will only award recertification credit for modules based on the completion and submission date of the post-test assessment. For example, a module completed and submitted on October 20 of a particular year will only be credited for that year, even if the due date of the post-test is in January of the following year.
