This program does NOT meet Florida’s requirements for Test & Treat. If you are a Florida pharmacist, please refer to the NASPA/FPA Pharmacy-based Point-of-Care Test & Treat Certificate Program.

If you have questions about other states, be sure to check with state agencies (ie. Board of Pharmacy, state pharmacy association) for state-specific requirements for pharmacy-based point-of-care testing services. Some states require training, prescriber orders, protocols, and/or collaborative practice agreements.
