State-based pharmacy associations are another resource for information on career opportunities in association management. Like their national cmm-terparts, a few sponsor experiential clerkships for students interested in learning more about the management of an association. Job opportunities are posted on many association Web sites, e.g., the ASAE (www.asae.org) and many of its state and local affiliates. 

Some examples of tasks associated with the provision of pharmaceutical care through CDTM have been published. Many of these tasks are necessary to help patients use their medication optimally, but may be prohibited for pharmacists to perform independently by some state pharmacy statutes and regulations. CDTM may also be prohibited in some current practice sites of traditional pharmacy because they lack some core requirements from the list given above. Note that we arc discussing a fundamental change in the medication use system. 

Forms to document patient assessments and educational session content are abundant. Individual practices can modify these forms to meet their specific locations needs. Examples of these forms are often included in certificate programs such as those offered by the National Community Pharmacist Association, American Pharmaceutical Association, American Association of Diabetes Educators, and state pharmacy organizations. These forms are also found on the different web sites, such as www.bd.com,www.novo.dk, and www.humulinpen.com.

In the United States, there is no national qualifying or licensing body for pharmacists. Licensure requirements are promulgated by State boards of pharmacy that administer examinations, issue internship requirements, and oversee the practice of pharmacy. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy serves the collective needs of the state boards. This organisation has no Hcensure authority. However, it has developed a standardized Hcensure examination (NABPLEX), which as of this writing (ca 1995) is used by 48 states (see Licensing).
