Get certified!

Have your friends said you should be certified? They’re right! And being certified by APhA— for providing diabetes care and medication therapy management — means being up to date on two critical skills that can help you improve your practice, treat your patients, and support your community.

GPhA’s got you covered in 2019 with both certificate programs before spring begins and at a great price. (Pro tip: Do both.)

MTM Certificate Training: February 17, 2019; 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Diabetes Management Certificate Training: March 3, 2019; 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Both courses are held at GPhA Headquarters in Sandy Springs (map), and each is $349 for GPhA members and $499 for non-members, which includes a GPhA membership.
