title: Building a pharmacist-managed pharmacotherapy medication therapy management practice.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the development and growth of a pharmacotherapy medication therapy management (MTM) practice.
  
  
  METHODS
  Multispecialty medical clinic.
  
  
  METHODS
  MTM practice based in a multispecialty medical clinic with a community pharmacy. The practice serves primarily internal medicine, family medicine, bariatric surgery, and solid-organ transplant surgery patients that are referred by clinic providers. The practice serves 30 to 40 patients per month and employs approximately one pharmacist spending 50% to 75% of his/ her time performing MTM.
  
  
  METHODS
  This MTM practice serves both primary care and specialty care patients via different practice models in a physician office setting. Unlike many MTM practices, this practice is financially self-sustaining.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sustainability, continued growth, financial viability.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After early slow growth, the pharmacotherapy MTM practice at Mayo Clinic Florida has grown into multiple practice models.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Institutions can use this practice model as a guide to assist them in the creation of future institutional pharmacotherapy MTM models.
