NASPA Pharmacy-based Point-of-Care Test & Treat Certificate Program

May 26, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm

$325

Point-of-care testing empowers clinicians to use effective, fast technology to aid their decision making at the “point-of-care” to improve patient health. Pharmacy-based point-of-care testing utilizes CLIA-waived (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments -waived) tests that offer near immediate results in non-laboratory settings.  Pharmacists and pharmacies are increasingly offering this public health service to promote prevention, early detection, and disease management.

Program note: This program is not tailored to any state law. In your state, pharmacists are exempt from laboratory testing requirements only for CLIA-waived tests that have been approved by the FDA for home use. Nothing in this program shall constitute legal advice, and pharmacists are advised to seek legal counsel prior to undertaking a point-of-care testing program in their pharmacy or entering into any collaborative practice agreements.

Virtual Live Training 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. AKT

Virtual Skills Assessments will take place immediately following the live programming between 5 and 6 p.m. ET. You will need to have a volunteer patient and some basic supplies, as well as a reliable camera and microphone. More information will be sent out to registered attendees.

The complete course will consist of 16 hours of self-study and a 4 hour live component. The self-study must be completed prior to the live training on May 26th.

This course offers 20 hours of ACPE CE (16 home study, 4 live training).

Students take an online assessment after each of the 12 modules of home study, in addition to a cumulative assessment (must pass 70% within three attempts), and then their proficiency to conduct physical assessments and offer point-of-care testing services is assessed in the live training. Upon successful completion of both portions of the program and all program evaluations, participants are awarded a certificate of completion and can receive 20 hours of Continuing Pharmacy Education (CPE) credit.
