About FDA

A. Training Module

Establish a training module, using FDA OWH publications (i.e. fact sheets, booklets, posters), for 9,000 HRSA grantees. The primary goal of this training is to support the core web-based continuing education module (See B below). It serves as an in-depth tutorial on OWH materials, resources, and directions for ordering, downloading and use. More importantly, it directs health professionals to FDA resources in patient-centered care to enhance clinical pharmacy services practices.

B. Web-Based Course

Create a web-based course, using the HRSA experience as a best practices model with the American Pharmacists Association which will offer continuing education credits for pharmacists and other health professionals. OWH supports the need to create continuing education training for health care providers that places a high priority on clear processes, improved patient-provider dialogue, and increased awareness of health literacy to improve patient centered care. The issues of health literacy, poor adherence, cultural diversity, and communication skills that may limit a patient’s ability to properly and safely use their medications will be directly impacted by establishing this nationwide training module for health professionals utilizing OWH materials.
