The study material actually mimics the exam. Most of the stuff in the ashp/accp review guide is all you need for the exam. I remember using stuff I read the next day after finishing chapters. With your hospital experience, it can fill in gaps on treatment management or serve as refresher on topics. Full transparency, I did a Pgy1, took it in 2017, and worked full time in a hospital setting while studying.

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement.

It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
