With BCBBS certification, you've proven your commitment to raising the bar in patient care through intensive study, self-assessment, and evaluation.

BCBBS® Background

The first biosimilar entered the US marketplace in 2015 and since then approximately 40 biosimilars have been approved. The healthcare system has been waiting for advancements in biologics medicines to improve patient quality of life. Often, drug pricing costs had been an obstacle for many patients and providers in accessing biologics. With more biosimilars expected to receive approval across several therapeutic areas over the next 5-10 years, the importance of educating the life sciences and healthcare communities on biologics and biosimilars has never been more important.

Along with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which as developed a curriculum toolkit, The Accreditation Council for Medical Affairs (ACMA) has developed the first and only recognized US and International Board Certification Program for industry, clinical and scientific professionals in order to create an internationally-accepted standard of knowledge, education, and experience by which leaders in the field will be recognized as Board Certified Biologics and Biosimilars Specialists (BCBBS®)
