LANSING, Mich. and LIVONIA, Mich., Nov. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Michigan Pharmacists Association (MPA) is partnering with MedCerts™ – one of the nation's leading online healthcare and IT certification training schools – in an effort to bring a higher level of training to pharmacy technicians across the nation. The partnership will impact state associations across the United States, enabling discounted access to online training that will help their members achieve certification goals, with guaranteed results.

"We are excited to partner with the MedCerts team," said Dianne Malburg, Chief Operations Officer of MPA.  "Since 2009, MedCerts has had a strong track record of developing and delivering best-in-class training programs.

Our partnership will bring an innovative approach to technician training, and add significant value to other state associations."

The MPA and MedCerts partnership is expected to significantly impact the industry.
