BCACP Bullets

This was the only resource I used to pass my re-certification exam this year. I found the information to be concise and easy to follow, with plenty of helpful updates on each disease state. A perfect quick guide for those of us with little time or headspace for studying outside of work.

I ordered this book along with the BCACP workbook from ASHP website and I feel it does a great job summarizing the key points for each topic. I typically read through it prior to reviewing the chapter in more depth, then refer back to it as a quick refresher as needed. I like that it has a a table of contents in alphabetical order, making it easy to find topics. There is also room for additional notes on each page. Overall very pleased with the book for the price. I have not found any errors with the content presented in the book! Highly recommend this book for anyone studying for BCACP!

I purchased this book along with a Med Ed 101 BCACP review course as the key components of my overall study strategy for the Fall 2018 exam. I listened to the review course while primarily hiking with my dog and closer to my exam date I focused solely on this book as a great review/refresher of the material I covered over the past 2-3 months. This book is concise and to the point on material that you need to know for the exam. It's amazing how so much material can be condensed in one book that so easy and affordable. If you are looking for an effective recap prior to your exam then this is it. It helped me pass the exam on my initial try and added some more initials after my name.

Content serves as a good brief refresher on vast array of topics. Very broad overview (think TL;DR) which is good for BCPS exam. Written as an outline format vs full paragraph which I like for review purposes. Unfortunately, I am finding many many errors as far as outline formatting (lines being indented when they shouldn’t or not being indented when they should be etc)

I used a combination of study materials to Prep for the BCACP. I used ACCP, meded101, and the BCACP bullets book. The BCACP bullets book was what I used exclusively the week leading up to the test. It really helped me to memorize all of the important details. I love this book!

The book is 300 + pages but covers a vast amount of disease states that may be seen on the exam, along with short sections over regulatory, billing codes, and biostats. However, the clinical section is very short and is only good if you just want a a small bird's eye view of what's first line with nothing more than surface level (example: hypokalemia = treat with potassium). I can see how it would be helpful if you just want a short list of things to memorize for each disease state in a hurry. The formatting reminds me of someone's personal notes on a google doc or microsoft word so it doesn't really bring anything new to the table to help you remember things. Pros: Covers basically everything in one of the shortest ways possible (maybe a good review after you already studied from something else) Cons: Perhaps too simple, will have to dive deeper to get to the meat of most therapeutic topics

Very useful for a quick recap of important disease states.

Would not recommend for primary study material or even secondary. Written casually where details like stepwise guideline approach is left out while price (‘crazy expensive’) is noted. Reference section leaves much to be desired. Glad I bought used.
