I am prepping for bcgp in 2019 spring. What materials are you using for reading
I do find his voice super slow and annoying. Webinars should have sharp voiceovers and crisp content, not his.
Unfortunately there’s not much out there to study from.

I would be interested. I am not sure if I want to take in spring as I am not sure I have enough time to prepare. I was looking at ASCP Geriatrics 101 and Boot camp. Boot camp is only good until 5/1/19 so wouldn’t be able to use again, if I failed, in the spring. Almost makes me want to wait to buy the new one in May and then take in the fall. Then if I have to retake in spring of 2020, I could still use it. I asked the rxcomic.com guy what he used to prepare (since he was one of the very few who passed the new BPS test) and he said ASCP Geriatrics 101, Meded 101, and USMLE biostatistics Step 1 YouTube videos. I found the ones from Randy Neil MD really helpful. What is the material so expensive?!

Bcgp aligns more with the current practice

After researching - it seems like ascp material is the best way to go about it.
No , I haven’t looked at the Amazon pearls.
Med 101.. still on the fence.
What geriatrics book you have ? Is it the one published by ASHP?

The 2019 bootcamp is available to register..
Yes. Title iS Fundamental of geriatrics pharmacotherapy
That might not be enough imo.. and the info is perhaps outdated - as it’s second edition was published few years ago.. unless I have missed a recent edition.
Anyone preparing for bcgp spring. Need little help here with important topics list .

Does anyone took test for spring. How was it?
It wasn’t as difficult as I expected. I received results today of 526, so I passed!
Im looking to maybe get a bcgp after 2 yrs...what materials did you use? Thanks.
I used both MedEd and ASCP boot camp. I also printed out updated BEERS list and looked up regulations regarding LTC and ambulatory care.
So those study materials are suffice?
Just out of curiosity, how does the job outlook look like with BCGP? Only job ive seen with geriatric specialty was at the VA.
