The Board of Community Pharmacy Practice (BCPP) is a specialized credentialing division operating under the umbrella of the American Council for Academic and Professional Accreditation (ACAPA), an independent U.S.-registered accrediting body for academic and professional programs worldwide.

The mission of the BCPP is to establish and maintain certification standards that recognize advanced practice, leadership, and innovation in the field of community pharmacy. Through its work, the Board promotes excellence, accountability, and global recognition for pharmacists who wish to demonstrate expertise beyond conventional training.

All certifications issued by the American Council and its specialized boards are legally registered in the United States and are eligible for authentication through U.S. state authorities, the U.S. Department of State, and any foreign embassy, ensuring international acceptance and official recognition.

It is important to note that these certifications are professional credentials awarded by the American Council. They are not affiliated with the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) and are not intended to replace governmental or regulatory licensure requirements. Instead, they serve as internationally recognized professional qualifications that highlight advanced competence and commitment to best practices in pharmacy.

By maintaining transparency, integrity, and high academic and professional standards, ACAPA and its specialized boards provide pharmacists worldwide with valuable opportunities to strengthen their professional profile and to pursue new career pathways in clinical, academic, and leadership roles.
