I already have BCPS but i am thinking about double certifying with BCPS-ID since i practice most of the time now in ID specialty areas. Has anyone taken this exam yet ? i know it is relatively new. How is the pass rate. I heard in the beginning, certification exam in Critical care had actually higher pass rate than BCPS ? Anyway, i was wondering about BCPS-ID exam ? anyone studied for it ? Thank you in advance

Pass rates were 73% for ID and critical care this past fall. You can Google pass rates BPS and locate the statistics

If you just want to pass and get letters, get the board certification in sterile compounding

Do you know that from experience of taking that exam?

90% pass rate tells everyone that, plus, sterile compounding knowledge should be a requirement of all pharmacists, regardless of specialty. People who have taken it stated it was straightforward.
