Pharmacy Compounding Foundation

Investing in pharmacy compounding’s future

In an effort to continue advancing the practice of pharmacy compounding, APC established a non-profit 501(c)3 educational foundation in 2003. The Foundation serves as the charitable arm of APC, providing funding for education and scientific programming and research.

The Foundation promotes pharmacy compounding by:

• Funding innovative educational programs and research initiatives that enhance the quality, safety, responsiveness, and credibility of the compounding pharmacy profession;
• Encouraging curricular endorsement of the fundamental proficiencies essential to compounding pharmacists through alliances with educational institutions and accreditation bodies;
• Sponsoring public education programs that acquaint healthcare professionals and the public with the services and issues related to pharmacy compounding; and
• Supporting student participation in compounding professional development and advocacy programs to orient them about compounding and support compounding as a possible career path.

Where we’re pointed

The foundation’s mission is to advance pharmacy compounding practice and the profession for the benefit of patients. Its vision is to enhance patients’ quality of life with compounded medications.

PCF’s goals include:

• Creating a plan for long-term fiscal stability essential to cover annual operating expenses.
• Supporting consumer-focused public relations efforts to elevate pharmacy compounding.
• Sponsoring and developing pharmacy compounding educational offerings for state pharmacy associations, pharmacy schools, compounding prescribers, and via student scholarships.
