Purpose:
Anticoagulation Management Certificate Program for Pharmacists is designed for
pharmacists caring for adults with, or at risk of, thrombotic disorders in ambulatory care settings.
Target Audience:
The primary goals of this certificate program are to prepare
pharmacists to 1.) provide a high level of patient-centered care to adult
patients with, or at risk of, thrombotic disorders; 2.) create pharmacist
advocates for appropriate care and treatment of persons receiving
anticoagulant therapy in ambulatory settings; and 3.) positively impact
the way pharmacists perceive their role in the care and treatment of
persons receiving anticoagulant therapy. Additionally, the nurturing of
a growing cadre of advanced-trained pharmacists can have a dramatic
impact on the care and treatment of all patients.
This certificate program provides 21 hours (2.1 CEUs) of continuing
pharmaceutical education. This is comprised of a 15-hour (1.5 CEUs)
home-study and a 6-hour (0.6 CEUs) on-site workshop
