Only one credential has been established to recognize pharmacists with expertise in the care of older adults and the provision of medication therapy management services to geriatric patients— the Certified Geriatric Pharmacist (CGP), administered by the Commission for Certification in Geriatric Pharmacy. 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.
