Are you committed to patient care through quality pharmacy compounding and the highest ethical and professional standards? If so, you should apply to be an APC Fellow. 

Eddie DeCaria, co-owner of Porter’s Pharmacy and Compounding Lab in Moon Township, Pa., had this to say about being an APC Fellow:

“APC Fellowship is an honor that designates an individual as a specialist in the art of compounding. When a friend of mine suggested I apply because of my professional journey, I hesitated until I realized what an elite group of compounders APC Fellows are. Being a Fellow is an honor that has led me to a great network of other professionals and leaders in our community.  

“My plan now as an APC Fellow is to mentor others to become specialists in the art of compounding. The more compounding specialists that are committed to ethics and quality compounding, the stronger our community. The stronger our community is, the more we can help the patients who need us.” 

The deadline to apply for 2024 induction is March 31, so review the available information and start your application now. The induction will take place at APC’s Compounders on Capitol Hill event in September. And by the way, we’ve updated the application, so if you started one last year and didn’t submit it, make sure you’re using the new form.
