Medication access shouldn't be a mystery.

This course is designed for nurses and MAs who want to master the medication access landscape. You'll learn how to decode insurance requirements, identify patient assistance programs, understand policy frameworks, and advocate effectively for your patients. With 12 learning units built on evidence-based research and real-world clinical practice, you'll gain the knowledge and tools to remove barriers and get patients the medications they need. No fluff, no outdated information—just practical, actionable strategies grounded in current healthcare policy and supported by full citations so you can reference them in your work.

Jacqueline Marinac, BS, PharmD

This course was created by a clinical pharmacist. I have spent 30+ years as a clinician, educator and researcher. I have watched patients, families and caregivers suffer when they can't afford or are denied access to prescribed medications. HCPs spend hours on medication access issues. As a result, the become frustrated, burnt out and leave medicine due to heavy administrative burden. This has to stop today. Every module, every citation, every clinical framework was born from that perspective. This is the course I wish I had taught. PATIENTS FIRST. ALWAYS.
