A Medication Care Coordinator works with all points of contact in a pharmacy to improve overall patient experience and medication-related outcomes. This includes clinical providers, pharmacists, clinicians, insurance companies and consumers. Some days you may work in more of a pharmacy technician role. Other days you may need to connect with individual patients to ensure they are following their drug plan accordingly.
We believe everyone should have access to higher education. With the option to pay in full, break down payments or utilize government grant funding, we help expand that access.

“My entire experience with Medcerts has been amazing! I participated in a Pharmacy program and they have stuck with me the whole way. Even when I didn’t make my deadlines they still worked with me. Having genuine people who care and true support is amazing. Within 6 months I took the PTCB Exam and passed on the first try! When I say I couldn’t have done it without my team/ MedCerts. I am now officially a certified pharmacy technician within 6 months!!!! I would recommend this program to anyone. Thank you so much MedCerts!!!!! Certified babyyyyyy!!!!!”
