MTM certification question!

Hi ya’ll, I’m a fairly new pharmacist. Just completed 2 years as a pharmacist working in retail. I recently signed up for Aspen RxHealth to remotely do MTMs (TMRs and CMRs). I understand that it can be difficult to get successful calls. So although disappointing, I want to further my knowledge in practice in MTM to stand out for future job opportunities.

What do you all recommend is the best place to get certified? One colleague told me to try PowerPak MTM. Thanks!

APhA has a course. I did it in school. You get a certificate of achievement.

I would think so. I’ve been using it. However, I’m not just starting out at AspenRx.

I have heard really good things about them. I had a friend who worked there and she said the culture and work-lide balance are great. She also said the benefits are good. She seems to be really happy there and has been for quite some time.

What benefits was your friend getting if you don’t mind me asking? I wasn’t aware of the benefits, just of the flexibility of your schedule/work-life balance at AspenRx Health.

I've heard really good things as MTM and I think a coworker of mine has used them before. I'd also recommend anything under the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS)

PowerPak MTM is a popular option for pharmacists looking to gain knowledge and skills in MTM. PowerPak offers a variety of online MTM courses and programs that cover topics such as medication therapy review, patient counseling, and documentation.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
