MPA Launches Pharmacy Technician Licensure Page Dedicated to Updating YOU!

The recent passage of Public Act 285 (pharmacy technician licensure) has raised many questions here in Michigan. The effective date of the legislation is quickly approaching. While we wait to see if the proposed amendment to postpone the enforcement date passes out of the Michigan Legislature, Michigan Pharmacists Association (MPA) has created a one-stop Web site page to assist with answering our members questions! Since this new legislation affects almost all of our members, we are responding by providing a central location where they can access resources to address their needs. We built the page based on the questions that our members have been asking. The page includes links and resources focused on the following:

• Certification exams
• Frequently asked questions
• Application link (application will be available Dec. 22, 2014)
• Information from the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs
• Duties of a technician
• Latest news
• Membership information

To access the page, please visit www.MichiganPharmacists.org/techlicensure and login as a member!

If you have any questions about this bill, please contact either Amanda Lick, MPA manager of advocacy, governmental and regulatory affairs at Amanda@MichiganPharmacists.org or Eric Roath, MPA director of professional practice, at Eric@MichiganPharmacists.org.
