Professional practice topics, including clinical trials, research, and practice management make up 28% of the BCOP exam 
This bundle sharpens those non-disease skills and gives you focused refreshers on these topics as well as oncology biomarker testing, benign hematology, and pain management, areas that often make or break the exam
Core Statistical and Clinical Trial Concepts
- Learn about clinical trial design, endpoints, and pathways to drug approval
- Build foundational knowledge of sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values
- Quickly decode p-values, confidence intervals, and other key statistical concepts
- Grasp what power really means - and what underpowered studies can and can’t tell you
- Understand the difference between type 1 and type 2 errors - and why they matter in oncology
Oncology Biomarker Testing
- Revisit the central dogma of molecular biology to understand how proteins are made
- Develop knowledge about the types of mutations and why that's needed when interpreting results
- Learn how to interpret biomarker and molecular testing (IHC, FISH, PCR, NGS) and apply results to drug selection
- Understand which trusted resources are available to help you connect biomarkers with therapies
- Recognize practical challenges in precision oncology, such as turnaround time for tests, cost/reimbursement barriers, and disparities in access to molecular diagnostics
Benign Hematology
- Understand the pathophysiology, presentation, and diagnosis of key benign hematologic disorders
- Review treatment strategies and pharmacotherapy pearls for aplastic anemia, iron deficiency anemia, sickle cell disease, and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
- Incorporate pharmacist-specific clinical pearls to optimize monitoring, manage adverse events, and support patient quality of life across benign hematology disorders
Practice Management
- Explore how oncology pharmacists improve patient care
- Learn how pathways and payment models shape treatment decisions
- Gain insight into the financial drivers affecting cancer center operations
- Learn how to find key USP standards and best practices for safe handling
- Understand the biosimilar development process and how they are deployed in practice
- See how pharmacists influence formulary and policy decisions through P&T committees
Pain Management and End of Life Care
- Learn a symptom-driven framework for managing common end-of-life issues — nausea, constipation, dyspnea, delirium, and secretions — by identifying the underlying etiology before recommending a medication
- Recognize cancer-specific pain syndromes (bone mets, hepatic capsule stretch, chemo-induced neuropathy, spinal cord compression, mucositis) and match each to the right pharmacologic and adjuvant treatment
- Build confidence dosing opioids in the opioid-naïve patient and know when it's time to add a long-acting agent
- Master opioid rotation using oral morphine equivalents (OME), apply cross-tolerance reductions, and calculate breakthrough doses
- Navigate fentanyl patch dosing in cachectic patients where subcutaneous absorption gets unpredictable, and learn safer alternatives when patches aren't a fit
- Counsel families through anorexia, cachexia, and the "death rattle" with practical, evidence-based language that reduces distress at end of life
Clinical Trial Confidence
This mini-course includes:
- 90-minute deep dive statistics training with an expert drug information pharmacist that walks you through a real oncology trial and explain key statistical concepts like p-values, bias, power, and noninferiority designs
- 30-minute fluff-free training on statistic fundamentals where you'll learn how to read studies efficiently, spot red flags, and understand what really matters
- A concise, downloadable quick reference guide (with video walkthrough) summarizing key biostatistics concepts, endpoints, and trial interpretation tips
- Direct links to trusted videos, blogs, and podcasts to help you learn without going down internet rabbit holes
Practice Management
