Participants are instructed in the proper aseptic techniques for preparations and quality control tests to prepare compounded sterile preparations. Participants will work in a simulated sterile environment in a USP 795 laboratory, focusing on the aseptic process and practical knowledge that meets the requirements for USP 797. During the third day, a non-sterile to sterile media-fill test process will be conducted. Attendees will also learn how to prepare non-sterile to sterile compounds, including sterile solutions and manipulation of injectable solutions, cleaning, and disinfection methods. Practical considerations about USP <800> will be discussed to facilitate the understanding of exposure routes and risks for those who handle hazardous drugs.
Upon completion of this course, you will receive a Pharmaceutical Compounding Certificate along with 20 hours (2.0 CEUs) of continuing education credits for your participation in the program.
