Actually, I'm still debating whether to take BCPS 2011 and I know that a decision needs to be made very soon so that I can start studying for it...
I really don't mean to hi-jack this thread, but I'm currently finishing up my PGY1 and will be starting PGY2 in July. Would it be advisable to take BCPS during PGY2 in October, in terms of having enough time during residency to prepare for it?
Any suggestions/advices much appreciated
Any thoughts?
First session went better for me, I think. I was also exhausted for some reason during the second one and was just ready to get out of there. Could've done without the stats diarrhea at the end of the first session.
By the way, was anyone else annoyed with "...and one of the physicians asks for the advice of a pharmacotherapy specialist..."? Like, really?! These peeps really like tooting their own horn.
Yay! I gave the vacc + IG for the one kid and the right drug for Steno (but I had a patient with Steno last year, so I knew that one). I think I got tricked by one of the hyperkalemia questions, though. My answer wasn't wrong in practice, but it may not have been best first for an exam.
Glad to hear so many of you here are confident... I feel that I'm pretty screwed this time round... Guess I'll just have to try again next year

I missed the steno question... boo. Did you give the guy in the CCU for r/o MI SUP? So far answers have been split 50/50: yes, oral and no, it's not indicated now. I was also wishy-washy about whether or not the pt with DKA (2nd half) should get bicarb or not. Ahh, so glad this test is OVER. Let's hope none of us have to repeat this crap
SUP - not indicated, pt was on nasal cannula, not intubated.
DKA - Think I gave bicarb b/c pH <7.0
When did the results start coming out last year? End of Nov. or?
Got the results today!!
JK! I'm tired of waiting too.
And there is a way to know if you passed without even opening the letter. If you passed your name will have BCPS after it in the address portion. At least that's how it was last year.
any body got their results yet... this has been the longest 2 months of my life
Any Ideas when they are going to mail the results
I called on Wednesday and I was told Pharmacotherapy Exam results were mail on Wednesday!!!
