The Ethical, Legal, and Regulatory Foundations of Pharmacy Compounding
15-Hour Compounding Foundations Course

Earning their trust takes more than your technical expertise. It’s equally important that patients know that you and your teammates have an essential understanding of the laws, regulations, and policies that govern pharmacy compounding. That you operate in compliance with those rules. It’s critical for compounding well. 


But you can't comply with rules and regulations that you don't know.
