Note: The information below was provided by APhA.
APhA’s Delivering Medication Therapy Management Services certificate training program (4th edition) presents a systematic approach for developing, implementing, delivering, and sustaining MTM services. It includes an overview of the marketplace for delivering MTM services, guidance for implementing MTM services in pharmacy practice, a review of the essential skills and knowledge needed for performing MTM successfully, and an organized process for identifying medication-related problems. The purpose of this certificate training program is to prepare pharmacists to improve medication use through the delivery of MTM services in a variety of practice settings.
The goals of this practice-based program are to:
- Advance public health and patient care through improved medication use
- Provide training to enhance pharmacists’ ability to effectively provide MTM services
- Motivate increased numbers of pharmacists to establish MTM services
- Communicate benchmark practices for providing MTM services
APhA’s Delivering Medication Therapy Management Services certificate training program has three components: online interactive self-study with assessment, the live seminar with online evaluation, and post-seminar case exercise. A certificate of achievement will be awarded to participants who successfully complete all program components, including an evaluation.
