APhA's Comprehensive Pain Management certificate training program consists of core modules and
elective modules. In addition to the core and elective modules there is a required final
post-assessment. The following steps are required to complete the program:
-
Step 1: Complete all required core modules which includes a pre-test to identify knowledge
gaps. The
purpose of the core modules is to provide foundational knowledge every pharmacist should have
surrounding pain management and substance use disorder. There is an associated assessment with each
module that each participant is required to pass. You will have two opportunities to successfully
complete and achieve a passing score of 70% or better on the assessment. The core modules are
approved for 14.0 hours (1.4 CEUs) of continuing pharmacy education credit.
-
Step 2: Select 5 individual elective modules to complete based on interest and/or perceived
knowledge gaps. Each individual elective module is approved for 1.0 hour (0.1 CEUs) of continuing
pharmacy education credit. The purpose of the elective modules is to dive deeper into a topic of
interest that you would like to learn more about that may be beneficial to your practice. You may
take more than 5 elective modules if you desire additional continuing pharmacy education credits.
There is an associated assessment with each module that each participant is required to pass. You
will have two opportunities to successfully complete and achieve a passing score of 70% or better on
the assessment.
-
Step 3: Successfully pass the final assessment. The material on the final assessment could
contain
questions from any core or elective module, regardless if the learner took the elective module. You
will have two opportunities to successfully complete and achieve a passing score of 70% or better on
the final assessment.
-
Step 4: Once you have successfully completed the core modules, 5 elective modules, and passed
the
final assessment, you have completed the program and will be eligible to receive a Certificate of
Completion for APhA's Comprehensive Pain Management certificate training program. The
Certificate of Completion will be available to you online for immediate printing.
