Elevate access to care through test and treat

Access to timely care isn't always easy, especially for common, treatable conditions. Test and treat helps bridge that gap by bringing care closer to where patients already go. APhA’s Pharmacy-Based 8-hour Test and Treat Certificate Training Program (discounted for members) offers a concise way to assess and manage common conditions at the point of care.
