APhA’s Delivering Medication Therapy Management Services certificate training program (4th Edition) presented by NSU's Barry and Judy Silverman College of Pharmacy provides pharmacists the skillset for developing, implementing, and delivering MTM services to patients. This practice-based curriculum represents a fusion of science, clinical, and administrative pharmacy. 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.

This program has three distinct components:

Self-study modules and self-assessment, which must be completed no later than one day before the live training (~10-12 hours).
Live Virtual Seminar (~7 hours) conducted live via Zoom; attendance required.
Successful completion of the post-seminar case evaluation and recommendations; you must complete three MTM cases afterwards.

It is very important to review all of the program information on the program website, which lists your responsibilities prior to enrolling in this course.
