Hold on to your toboggans, kids: APC’s EduCon is just over two months away.

APC’s annual virtual conference focuses on compounding’s best practices for keeping you and your team compliant and efficient.

Why do you need to attend EduCon 2023? Well, with up to 12 CE hours (approved for both pharmacists and technicians), EduCon is sure to be one of the best investments you can make in your professional development all year. Note: LIVE CE credit is only available on February 9 and 10. On-demand will be home study CE credit.

Here’s a taste of just three of the great sessions we’re offering:

The Compounders’ Code of Ethics and Your Commitment to Quality. Led by PCCA’s AJ Day, attendees will be asked to consider their answers to sticky questions centered around the Compounders’ Code of Ethics and the quality systems necessary to ensure your compounding pharmacy and team are in compliance.

Compounding for Thyroid the Right Way! Presented by Michelle Moser, Makers Compounding Pharmacy, this program will go deep into compounding specifics for your thyroid patients. Similar to following any recipe, compounding levothyroxine, liothyronine and thyroid USP requires attention to accuracy, dosage and potency.

Latest/Greatest Trends in Geriatrics and Hospice Compounding. Medisca’s Mindy Cormier will explore the growing need for compounding sterile and non-sterile preparations in geriatric and hospice applications, and how those treatments are used to help aging patients’ particular needs.

Best of all, to sweeten the EduCon value package, APC is offering early bird rates for members and PFMs. (For PFM technicians, the rate is only $99 until January 4!) Registration is open now, don’t miss out!
