Attend MPA’s Upcoming Immunization Training Program in Troy

MPA is hosting several Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery Programs this summer and fall. The next program will be held July 21 at the Somerset Inn in Troy. Participants have the opportunity to earn up to 20 hours of continuing education credit while training to become a certified immunizer.

This innovative and interactive training program teaches pharmacists the skills necessary to become a primary source for vaccine information and administration. The program also teaches the basics of immunology and focuses on practice implementation and legal/regulatory issues.

The training is conducted in two parts: a self-study that’s mailed to participants approximately four weeks before the program date and a live training seminar. Successful completion of the self-study will result in 12 hours of continuing education (CE) credit. In addition, successful completion of the live seminar will result in eight additional hours of live CE credit.

Registration for the July 21 program is available online or by contacting MPA Marketing and Sales Assistant Cynthia Rowe at (517) 377-0222. MPA is also holding two additional programs in 2011, including one designed specifically for Wayne State University student pharmacists.
