About
We strive to provide affordable access to high-quality continuing education programs, related to sterile compounding for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and others who are practicing in a sterile compounding environment and/or who are designated as responsible for the performance of a sterile compounding facility. Our programs are based on current regulatory guidelines specified by USP <797> and USP <800> standards.
Participants, who satisfactorily complete a program, receive a certificate of completion,
as well as ACPE CE credits. Certificate of completion courses may include a home study
