The Get the Medications Right (GTMRx) Institute has released a new comprehensive medication management (CMM) resource for pharmacy residents and preceptors. The CMM Residency Toolkit is designed to provide pharmacy residents with a foundational knowledge of CMM. It introduces the CMM philosophy of practice and patient care process, steps for implementation, and standards for practice management. There are links for tools on how to assess readiness to implement CMM in a practice site or evaluate the performance of a CMM practice as well as use cases from a variety of practice settings demonstrating the value of CMM. The toolkit also provides links to additional resources on the Optimizing Medications for Better Health website and resources developed by ACCP and ASHP. The toolkit will also be added to the Professional Resources page on the ACCP website and the resource center for preceptors and ambulatory care specialists on the ASHP website.

The CMM residency toolkit was developed by members of the Evidence-Based Resources Subgroup of the GTMRx Practice and Care Delivery Transformation Workgroup. The lead for the subgroup was Tanner Buchanan, Pharm.D., with members John Armistead, BSPharm, MS, FASHP; Marcia Buck, Pharm.D., FCCP, FPPA, BCPPS; Christie Schumacher, Pharm.D., FCCP, BCPS, BCACP, BCCP, BCADM, CDCES; and Ashley Yost, Pharm.D., BCPS, BCCCP.
