Many facilities also offer ongoing training to help Medication Associates stay current with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Becoming a medication associate typically requires completing a high school diploma or equivalent, followed by on-the-job training or a short certification program that can last from a few days to several weeks. Some employers may prefer candidates with pharmacy technician certification, which can take several months to obtain through accredited programs.
