The CSP Credential

The CSP Credential

The Certified Specialty Pharmacist (CSP) credential has been developed to recognize individuals who have demonstrated intermediate knowledge and skill to provide competent specialty pharmacy services. The CSP credential is a key indicator to employers, manufacturers, patients, payers, additional healthcare providers, and the public at large that a pharmacist has proficiency in specialty pharmaceuticals.

Individuals who earn the CSP credential have demonstrated knowledge of the professional domains that encompass the tasks and knowledge required of a specialty pharmacy professional in various practice settings. By passing the CSP examination, pharmacy professionals not only display their aptitude in each specialized knowledge area, but also present their expertise in specialty pharmacy with a CSP credential.

Accreditation

The CSP credential is accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).

Accreditation provides impartial, third-party validation that the CSP program has met recognized national and international credentialing industry standards for development, implementation, and maintenance of certification programs.
