A one-of-a-kind learning, planning, and networking especially for compounding pharmacy leaders. Two days of meaty presentations and conversations focused on helping you run your business better.
Protecting pharmacy compounding—and the patients it serves
Lobbying on Capitol Hill to assure that legislation elevates and preserves pure ingredient compounding
APC has three members-only resources covering state-level compounding issues.

Education

Being an exceptional compounding professional means you never stop learning

There’s an old saying, “You can’t talk your way out of a problem you behaved your way into.”
The Ethical, Legal, and Regulatory Foundations of Pharmacy Compounding
Keeping you at the top of your game
In 2024, APC formed a ‘Best-Practices Working Group’ to look at critical issues and to offer a defined, science-based practice for compounding certain medications and for other critical processes.

Because APC is working for you and your patients

If you are a pharmacist or technician who prepares compounded medications or a provider who prescribes them or even a patient who takes them—APC is the organization for you.

As the trade association for pharmacy compounding, we work every day to elevate compounding practices and preserve patient access to the customized medicines that make lives better. We’re stronger when you’re with us. And so are you.

Individual
Memberships

Do a little compounding? That can mean a lot of liability. Our individual memberships are affordable and keep small-volume compounders—both pharmacists and technicians—current, so that the compounds you prepare are compliant and high-quality.

We also offer five categories of membership for people whose employers are not yet ready to become Pharmacy/Facility Members: pharmacist, supporter, prescriber, technician, and pharmacy student.

Whether as part of a pharmacy/facility or as an individual, all APC members receive a list of educational, informational, and–of course–advocacy benefits.

As a pharmacy compounding professional or supporter, APC is your voice on Capitol Hill, at FDA, in statehouses and at boards of pharmacy across the nation, and even to news media. We’re working to tell your story and to protect your profession – so that you can continue to compound the joy of living for the patients you serve. Become a member, and add your voice to ours.

We’re also working to ensure that our members have access to the best practices in compounding.

Helping our members comply with all pharmacy compounding laws, regulations, and standards is part of what we do, sure, but it’s not all. APC members subscribe to the Compounder Code of Ethics and can look to APC for guidance that enables them to practice with integrity, preparing the highest quality medications for their patients and committing themselves to ethical practice.

We do that via educational courses and “best practices” guidance on a range of issues.
