Tabula Rasa Medication Therapy Management Program
The Tabula Rasa Medication Therapy Management Program is an innovative ambulatory practice site providing comprehensive Medication Therapy Management (MTM) services for millions of patients nationwide.
The program’s design allows it to specifically target patients with potential medication-related problems and to assess all disease states rather than focusing on a single condition. Patient outreach is done via telephone and commonly addresses diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, heart disease, heart failure, asthma and COPD. The center is the first of its kind to receive the APhA Pinnacle Award.
The Tabula Rasa Medication Therapy Management Program offers College of Pharmacy students a variety or educational experiences:
Critical Path Institute (C-Path)
Critical Path Institute (C-Path) is a nonprofit, public-private partnership with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) created under the auspices of the FDA’s Critical Path Initiative program in 2005. C-Path’s aim is to accelerate the pace and reduce the costs of medical product development through the creation of new data standards, measurement standards, and methods standards that aid in the scientific evaluation of the efficacy and safety of new therapies. These pre-competitive standards and approaches have been termed “drug development tools” (DDTs) by the FDA, which established a process for official review and confirmation of their validity for a given context of use.
C-Path orchestrates the development of DDTs through an innovative, collaborative approach to the sharing of data and expertise. They build consensus among participating scientists from industry and academia with FDA participation and iterative feedback. The process culminates in a formal application to FDA for official “qualification” of the DDT for a given use in product development. Qualified DDTs then become open standards for the scientific community which, in turn, may be assured both of the scientific rigor under which they were developed and of the FDA’s understanding and acceptance of their validity.
C-Path connects the College of Pharmacy with new opportunties for local biotech and pharma companies.
