Audience: Pharmacists preparing for the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) Board Certified Medication Therapy Management Specialist (BCMTMS) certification exam, including candidates with experience in comprehensive medication management, ambulatory care, community pharmacy, health-system transitions of care, and population health medication management services.
Goals:
- By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
- Explain the publicly available BCMTMS exam framework/domains and how course topics map to them without assuming unpublished weights or hidden blueprint details.
- Master the high-yield concepts, definitions, care-process steps, and decision rules relevant to pharmacist-led medication therapy management across assessment, problem identification, care planning, implementation, documentation, communication, follow-up, quality, and practice management.
- Apply concepts in realistic BCMTMS-style scenarios involving comprehensive medication review, targeted medication review, medication reconciliation, transitions of care, adherence barriers, preventive care gaps, and prioritization of medication-related problems.
- Use a consistent pharmacist reasoning model: identify the task -> extract key facts -> classify the medication-related problem or care need -> select the governing clinical/practice rule -> choose the best action within pharmacist scope -> verify safety, feasibility, patient-centeredness, and follow-up.
- Solve relevant calculation and interpretation tasks accurately when applicable, including adherence-related calculations, regimen assessment, clinical data interpretation, and monitoring/follow-up decisions, with steps shown clearly.
- Distinguish common distractors, misconceptions, and boundary cases related to indication, effectiveness, safety, adherence, duplication, omission, monitoring gaps, documentation errors, communication failures, and inappropriate escalation or non-escalation.
- Build retrieval-ready memory using concise tables, checklists, care algorithms, documentation frameworks, and spaced review summaries tailored to BCMTMS exam-style decisions.
- Demonstrate readiness through self-checks and mini-assessments mapped to each available BCMTMS domain/objective or, when public blueprint wording is broad, to transparent course tags in the format DOMAIN: Objective -> Subskill.
- Coverage & Blueprint Mapping Requirements:
- Every chapter, section, subsection, and topic must map to at least one BCMTMS blueprint domain/objective or a transparent DOMAIN: Objective -> Subskill tag.
- Use a full-course domain structure that covers, at minimum: Patient Assessment and Information Gathering; Medication-Related Problem Identification and Prioritization; Care Planning and Intervention Design; Implementation, Documentation, and Communication; and Follow-Up, Monitoring, Quality, and Practice Management.
- When official blueprint wording is broad or incomplete, translate it into teachable MTM subskills rather than inventing hidden official objectives.
- Ensure complete coverage across the pharmacist MTM care process: medication history and medication experience, indication/effectiveness/safety/adherence assessment, prioritization of medication-related problems, patient-centered goal setting, intervention design, counseling and education, collaboration/referral, documentation, transitions of care, monitoring, follow-up, quality, and population-health/practice-management concepts relevant to MTM.
- Stay within pharmacist scope of practice. Do not assume unsupported independent medical diagnosis. When decisions depend on collaborative practice agreements, payer rules, institutional workflow, or jurisdiction-specific law, present them as locally variable and instruct learners to verify local requirements.
- If a detail is uncertain or setting-dependent, write learner-safe guidance instead of guessing.
