Delivering Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Services Certification Program
Developed by the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), the Delivering Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Services Certification Program 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.
Activity Type: Practice-based
Target Audience: Pharmacists in all practice settings
This certificate training program is to prepare pharmacists to improve medication use through the delivery of MTM services in a variety of practice settings, and by promoting and training MTM services to also advance public health and patient care through improved medication use.

A Certificate of Achievement will be awarded to participants who successfully complete all program components.
