It may seem early, but now is the time to get started on your application for the APC Fellows Program. 

Fellowship is the highest distinction we award. The program distinguishes pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who are exemplary in their professionalism and commitment to the practice of pharmacy compounding. APC Fellows meet stringent requirements designed to demonstrate their commitment to patient care through quality pharmacy compounding and the highest ethical and professional standards. 

The application requirements are stringent, too—and it’ll take you more than a couple of days to pull everything together. The deadline to apply for 2024 induction is March 31, so review the available information and start your application now. 

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.
