Medicines Therapy Assessment (MTA) Portfolio

About the product

Go to Registration page

To become accredited to provide MTA services, pharmacists must submit a portfolio documenting evidence against the Medicines Therapy Assessment Standards. The Standards for MTA were developed and set by a steering group of respected pharmacists, and are endorsed by the Pharmacy Council of New Zealand.

Assessment of competence is by way of a portfolio of evidence that demonstrates the pharmacist providing MTA services has appropriate experience, knowledge, skills, and peer support to deliver MTA services effectively and safely. The pharmacist providing MTA services has the responsibility for ensuring that the submitted portfolio identifies his/her level of knowledge and skills and equates his/her knowledge and skills with specific MTA competence standards and the accompanying Schedule.

The registration fee for your MTA Portfolio Application fee covers the full process of portfolio assessment by the PSNZ Education team and the opportunity for ONE resubmission should the supplied evidence be deemed insufficient or does not meet MTA Standards. Further resubmissions may incur a charge. A certificate of accreditation will be issued to pharmacists who may be granted either FULL or PROVISIONAL MTA Accreditation as outlined in the Schedule. Pharmacists unable to supply evidence to the required MTA Standard may be required to reapply.
