Point-of-Care Testing Certificate Program

Point-of-care testing empowers pharmacy students to use effective, fast technology to aid their decision-making at the “point-of-care” to improve patient health. Community pharmacy-based point-of-care testing utilizes CLIA-waived (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments-waived) tests that offer near immediate results in non-laboratory settings.  Pharmacies are increasingly offering this public health service to promote prevention, early detection, and disease management. The NACDS Community Pharmacy-based Point-of-Care Testing Certificate Program provides an opportunity to gain the skills and information necessary to develop a testing program for influenza, Group A Streptococcus, HIV, and Hepatitis C.
