DOES YOUR PHARMACY HAVE A BOARD CERTIFIED GERIATRIC PHARMACIST?

BECOME A CERTIFIED GERIATRIC PHARMACIST The CGP credential is ideal for the pharmacist who serves older adults, regardless of practice setting. Hospitals need CGPs because: • The population is growing older. • Medicare reimbursement changes require more geriatric expertise. • Growing numbers of hospitals are establishing geriatric teams. • A recent review and meta-analysis has demonstrated the value of pharmacists on geriatric teams.
