Overview

The ACCP Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM) Implementation Certificate program is an educational program designed to provide clinical pharmacists and clinical pharmacy administrators with the knowledge and skills to implement, enhance, or expand CMM services. Programming will be delivered primarily via self-paced, on-demand modules developed by CMM experts and supplemented with live consultancy sessions. The program is designed to be completed over the course of 12-24 months as participants apply the information to implement or expand CMM services in their practice sites. Throughout the program, essential CMM resources will be shared in a stepwise fashion to facilitate the implementation of CMM. Participants will identify and work with a program mentor to develop an online portfolio by completing application assignments for each module. This portfolio will include meaningful deliverables such as a business plan, collaborative practice agreement, and progress note template, among others.

Curriculum

CMM certificate program requirements consist of 20 hours of didactic modules, completion of all portfolio assignments, and participation (submission of a case challenge) in 2 consultancy sessions. Core hours and elective hours will be comprised of on-demand videos, required readings, and application-based portfolio assignments. Consultancy sessions will be held quarterly (2 sessions required for certificate) with three offered live via Zoom and one live in-person at the ACCP Annual Meeting. These unique sessions offer an invitation for participants to receive expert discussion and guidance of real world CMM implementation practice challenges. Elective opportunities include sessions on pharmacist-pharmacist collaboration, implementation of CMM in a specialty practice, CMM implementation via telehealth and many others. New elective opportunities will be offered at each ACCP Annual Meeting. Core modules consist of the following:

  • Module 1: CMM Foundations
  • Module 2: Making the Business Case for CMM
  • Module 3: Developing your Implementation and Measurement Plan
  • Module 4: Implementation Evaluation, and Reporting

Certificate Requirements

The program is designed to be completed in a stepwise fashion and applied in real time. However, participants gain access to all program materials and may choose to complete any portion of the on-demand programming at any time. To qualify for graduation, CMM Certificate Program participants must complete 20 hours of didactic modules (core and elective) and participate in two live consultancies (provide feedback to colleagues during one and submit a case challenge at one). In addition, each participant must develop and maintain all application-based assignments within the online electronic portfolio maintained by ACCP. The electronic portfolio will serve as the guiding and monitoring tool for professional advancement over the course of the program. Portfolio development will be initiated following the completion of the prerequisite module. All portfolio assignments must be completed by August 15th of the year intended for graduation. One-on-one mentoring is essential to implementing CMM into your practice. Therefore, each participant will be asked to identify a personal mentor (preferably from his or her institution, if possible) with whom he or she will meet throughout the program. For more information about the certificate requirements, accessing the portfolio and required reading, view the course syllabus.
