1The SBFC/CFF reference framework 'Serviços farmacêuticos diretamente destinados ao paciente, à família e à comunidade' (CFF, 2016) harmonised Brazilian clinical pharmacy terminology. Within that framework, how is 'consulta farmacêutica' correctly classified?

A.It is a pharmaceutical service equivalent to acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico

B.It is an episode of contact between pharmacist and patient during which different services or procedures may be provided — it is not itself a service

C.It is a legal document that replaces the medical record entry for the encounter

D.It is a billing category used only in private community pharmacies

Explanation: The CFF framework is explicit that consulta farmacêutica is an encounter — an episode of contact between the pharmacist and the patient aimed at obtaining the best results from pharmacotherapy and promoting rational use of medicines. Different services or procedures may be delivered inside that encounter depending on the complexity of the case, so the consultation is the setting, not the service itself.

2In harmonising Brazilian terminology, the CFF deliberately adopted the term 'conciliação de medicamentos' and advised against using 'reconciliação' as a synonym. What is the stated reason for this choice?

A.'Reconciliação' already carries a different, unrelated meaning in RDC/Anvisa nº 13/2013, so using it for this service would create ambiguity

B.'Reconciliação' is an English loan word that Brazilian pharmacy law prohibits in clinical records

C.'Reconciliação' refers exclusively to reconciling pharmacy inventory rather than patient medication lists

D.'Reconciliação' describes a service that only physicians may legally perform in Brazil

Explanation: The CFF framework notes that although 'reconciliação' is widely used as a synonym, it chose not to adopt it because RDC/Anvisa nº 13/2013 (Good Manufacturing Practices for traditional herbal products) already uses 'reconciliação' in a different context and with a different meaning. Avoiding the overlap prevents ambiguity of interpretation.

3A pharmacist runs a structured programme for patients with type 2 diabetes only, working to condition-specific protocols agreed with the medical team. A colleague instead follows each of her patients across their entire drug regimen over repeated encounters. Which services are these, respectively, in CFF terminology?

A.Rastreamento em saúde and revisão da farmacoterapia

B.Gestão da condição de saúde and acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico

C.Acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico and gestão da condição de saúde

D.Dispensação and educação em saúde

Explanation: Gestão da condição de saúde is focused on one specific condition or risk factor (for example diabetes, hypertension, asthma, oral anticoagulation) and typically operates under clinical protocols or collaborative agreements. Acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico is distinguished by its longitudinal character across multiple encounters and by managing the patient's whole pharmacotherapy rather than a single condition.

4According to the CFF framework, what most characterises the service 'acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico' and separates it from the other pharmaceutical services?

A.It can only be delivered in hospital wards by a specialist pharmacist

B.It is limited to measuring serum drug concentrations and adjusting doses

C.It is provided across multiple encounters with continuity of care, managing the whole pharmacotherapy to prevent and resolve drug therapy problems

D.It consists of a single structured review of the prescription without patient contact

Explanation: The framework states that the main difference between acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico and the other services is the perspective of continuity of care delivered over several consultations. Because of this longitudinal character, other services such as health education, screening, medication conciliation, and pharmacotherapy review may all be carried out within it.

5A hospital pharmacist analyses each inpatient prescription for dose, interactions, and appropriateness, working only from the chart and without meeting the patient. Under the CFF framework, what is this modality of revisão da farmacoterapia called?

A.Rastreamento farmacêutico

B.Conciliação de medicamentos

C.Monitorização terapêutica de medicamentos

D.Análise farmacêutica da prescrição

Explanation: The framework explains that pharmacotherapy review may be centred only on prescription information without direct patient contact, and that in the hospital context this modality is named análise farmacêutica da prescrição. When the review focuses on adherence or on a deeper clinical evaluation, direct contact with the patient becomes necessary.

6How does the CFF framework define a 'problema de saúde autolimitado' (also called transtorno menor), the class of condition the pharmacist may manage directly?

A.Any chronic condition that is stable enough for the patient to self-manage between medical appointments

B.An acute illness of low severity and short latency that tends to resolve without harm and can be treated safely with non-prescription products or non-pharmacological measures

C.Any condition for which a physician has already issued a repeat prescription

D.Any symptom the patient reports as mild, regardless of duration or severity

Explanation: The framework defines the self-limiting health problem as an acute illness of low severity and brief latency period that provokes an organic reaction which tends to evolve without harm to the patient, and that can be treated effectively and safely with medicines not requiring a prescription, herbal products, or non-pharmacological measures. Most are found in the 'signs and symptoms' component of ICPC-2.

7Under the CFF framework, dispensação is described as an act privative to the pharmacist. Beyond handing over the medicine, what does the service necessarily include?

A.Evaluating the prescription on technical and legal grounds, intervening with the prescriber when needed, and counselling on correct and safe use, storage, and disposal

B.Recording the sale in the fiscal system and confirming the patient's address

C.Substituting the prescribed product for the cheapest available generic without further analysis

D.Delegating the counselling to a pharmacy technician so the pharmacist can process the next prescription

Explanation: The framework describes dispensação as a service that requires clinical training: the pharmacist must analyse the technical and legal aspects of the prescription, correlate the prescribed and non-prescribed medicines with the patient's health conditions, intervene with the prescriber where necessary, and provide guidance on adequate and safe use, benefits, conservation, and disposal.

8For which of the following is the service 'monitorização terapêutica de medicamentos' primarily intended, according to the CFF framework?

A.All medicines dispensed to hospitalised patients, as a routine safety check

B.Medicines with a narrow therapeutic window, marked pharmacokinetic variability, or target concentrations that are otherwise hard to monitor

C.Only medicines supplied through the Componente Especializado da Assistência Farmacêutica

D.Any medicine whose cost exceeds a threshold defined by the institution

Explanation: The framework states that this service is primarily directed at monitoring serum levels of drugs with a narrow therapeutic window, drugs with pharmacokinetic variability, or those whose target concentrations are difficult to monitor, as well as those known to cause adverse reactions. Interpretation must account for sampling time relative to the dose, dosing history, patient response, and the desired clinical targets.

9A community pharmacist offers blood pressure measurement to adults attending the pharmacy and refers those with repeatedly elevated readings. Which service is being provided, and what is its key limitation?

A.Rastreamento em saúde; it does not establish a diagnosis, so suspected cases must be referred for elucidation

B.Gestão da condição de saúde; it requires a prior medical diagnosis of hypertension

C.Acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico; it must be repeated at fixed monthly intervals

D.Dispensação; it may only be offered to patients collecting antihypertensive medicines

Explanation: Rastreamento em saúde identifies people who may have a condition that has not yet been diagnosed. The framework is clear that screening does not constitute diagnosis: the pharmacist prescribes preventive measures or refers suspected cases to another professional or health service for diagnostic elucidation and treatment.

10Resolução/CFF nº 585/2013 regulates the clinical attributions of the pharmacist in Brazil. Which of the following is an attribution it establishes?

A.Establishing the nosological diagnosis of acute disease independently of the medical team

B.Altering another prescriber's prescription at the pharmacist's discretion whenever a cheaper option exists

C.Performing pharmaceutical anamnesis, evaluating pharmacotherapy, requesting complementary tests needed to monitor drug therapy, and documenting the care provided

D.Authorising hospital admission for patients whose pharmacotherapy is uncontrolled

Explanation: Resolução/CFF nº 585/2013 sets out the clinical attributions of the pharmacist in individual and collective health care, including conducting pharmaceutical anamnesis, evaluating the patient's pharmacotherapy, requesting the complementary examinations needed to monitor drug efficacy and safety, and recording the care delivered in the patient's health record.

SBFC Farmácia Clínica Study Tips from Top Performers

1Work directly from Anexo 1 of the edital: it lists 13 named themes, and five of them concern the management of self-limiting health problems. Weight your revision accordingly rather than towards general hospital pharmacotherapy.

2Read the CFF ProFar clinical practice guides named in Anexo 2 for heartburn and dyspepsia, sneezing and nasal congestion, dismenorreia, fever, and cough. Learn each guide's referral alert table — those tables are the highest-yield content in the whole reference list.

3Master the CFF harmonised nomenclature from the 2016 framework: the nine pharmaceutical services, why consulta farmacêutica is a contact episode rather than a service, why the CFF prefers 'conciliação' to 'reconciliação', and how gestão da condição de saúde differs from acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico.

4For themes 7 to 10, revise hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, and asthma as vehicles for delivering three named services — pharmacotherapy follow-up, pharmacotherapy review, and medication reconciliation — rather than as isolated drug knowledge.

5For themes 11 to 13, focus dispensing practice on rheumatoid arthritis, acute ischaemic stroke, and Alzheimer's disease, including the technical and legal evaluation of the prescription and the education a caregiver needs.

6Rehearse the clinical reasoning sequence the guides share — acolhimento da demanda, pharmaceutical anamnesis and parameter checking, identification of referral alerts, care plan, patient education, evaluation of results — because it is the backbone of both the written paper and the ECOE stations.

7Check the current edital before relying on any logistics figure. The fee, the calendar, and the location are set anew for each edition, and the 2026 edition ran only the Notório Saber track.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SBFC Título de Especialista Profissional em Farmácia Clínica and who recognises it?

It is the clinical pharmacy specialist title conferred by the Sociedade Brasileira de Farmácia Clínica. Resolução/CFF nº 581/2013 instituted the professional specialist title — a credential without academic character — and provides that it is granted by societies accredited by the Conselho Federal de Farmácia through either a concurso de título or accredited free-standing courses. The CFF accredited SBFC to run this concurso through Acórdão nº 785 of 24 November 2023. Once obtained, the title is registered (averbamento) with the pharmacist's Conselho Regional de Farmácia.

How is the examination structured and what is the pass mark?

There are three mandatory assessments, each worth 20 points: a Prova Teórica of 20 four-option multiple-choice questions sat over 2 hours; a Prova Prática in the ECOE (Exame Clínico Observado e Estruturado) model lasting up to 6 hours; and an Análise Curricular scored against the official barema. The candidate must obtain at least 50% in each of the three assessments and a final score of at least 30 points. In the 1ª edição the written and practical papers were sat in person in Sorocaba, São Paulo.

Who is eligible to sit the concurso?

Candidates must hold a pharmacy degree from an MEC-accredited institution and have definitive, regular registration with their Conselho Regional de Farmácia with no ethical or technical restrictions. In addition they must meet at least one of three criteria: a completed CNRMS-accredited Residência Multiprofissional or Residência em Área Profissional da Saúde of at least 2 years and 5,760 hours; a completed lato sensu specialisation in Farmácia Clínica of at least 360 hours meeting the edital's requirements for health-care content, practical hours, and a final course project; or at least 24 months of practice in Farmácia Clínica, consecutive or not, up to the closing date for registration.

What content does the exam cover?

Anexo 1 of the edital lists 13 themes. One covers work processes and the harmonisation of concepts and nomenclature for pharmaceutical care. Five cover the management of self-limiting health problems: heartburn and dyspepsia, sneezing and nasal congestion, primary dysmenorrhoea, fever, and cough. Four cover pharmacotherapy follow-up, pharmacotherapy review, and medication reconciliation in hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, and asthma. Three cover dispensing and health education in rheumatoid arthritis, acute ischaemic stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. Anexo 2 lists the official references, chiefly the CFF ProFar clinical practice guides, the CFF framework for pharmaceutical services, and the Ministry of Health clinical protocols.

How does the 'Notório Saber' track differ from the concurso with examinations?

Notório Saber is a separate track for pharmacists with at least 10 years of practice in Farmácia Clínica. Its 2ª edição, under Edital 01/2026, comprised two mandatory eliminatory stages assessed from submitted documentation only: a curricular analysis requiring at least 700 points on the barema, and evaluation of a memorial of at most 10 pages describing the candidate's professional trajectory. There is no written paper and no ECOE in that track. Registration for the 2ª edição opened on 17 March 2026 and was extended to 8 May 2026.

What does the registration fee cost?

The fee is set in each edition's edital rather than fixed. In the 1ª edição (2024), SBFC members in good standing paid R$ 900 for the examination alone, or R$ 400 if also registered for the 2º Congresso Internacional da SBFC; non-members and members in arrears paid R$ 1,200 or R$ 700 respectively. A further 20% discount applied to preceptors of a CNRMS-registered Residência Multiprofissional or Residência em Área Profissional da Saúde. Fees are not refundable. Always confirm the current figure in the live edital.

Why is this practice bank in English, and what does it not cover?

The official examination is conducted in Portuguese. This bank is an English-language study adaptation, not an official translation and not endorsed by SBFC or the CFF. Its 100 four-option questions are mapped to the 13 themes of Anexo 1 and match the item format of the written Prova Teórica, though that paper contains 20 questions rather than 100. The bank cannot simulate the Prova Prática in the ECOE model or the Análise Curricular; for those, work from the official edital, the barema spreadsheet, and the clinical reasoning sequence set out in the CFF ProFar guides. Official Portuguese terms are kept alongside the English explanations so you can recognise them in the real exam.
