Expanding the Pharmacy Technician Role via Community Health Worker Training

CHWs act as a bridge between health and social services and the community, helping to improve health outcomes and access to care. Our goal during this episode is to discuss why training pharmacy technicians to step into the role of a Community Health Worker has been imperative to meeting the health equity demands in local communities. Jen Moulton, BSPharmPresidentCEimpactMeredith Ayers, CPhT-Adv, CHWDevelopment SpecialistBremo PharmacyThis course is accredited for Pharmacists & Pharmacy Technicians:Pharmacist Members, REDEEM YOUR CPE HERE!Pharmacist Technicians, REDEEM YOUR CPE HERE!When the course page populates, click Enroll and complete the system prompts to add the course to your My Courses.  Not a member?
