Western University's Medicare Part D/Medication Therapy Management Health Fairs

Western University of Health Science's AMCP chapter’s annual Medicare Part D and Medication Therapy Management (MTM) health fairs are held annually to expose students to different aspects of managed care on a firsthand level. These health fairs are usually held during open enrollment from October to December. Each health fair involves participation from students, faculty, and community members. Participation from students is based on mandatory participation for one course and on a voluntary basis from other students. P1 students are exposed to the Medicare Part D aspect in an in class session and practice this during a health fair session. Students from other classes help P1 students with the Medicare Part D portions and practice MTM skills based on patient specific therapies. Faculty and preceptors also help aid with these activities and help to enroll patients in a Medicare Part D plan if it is found that one is appropriate for a patient.
