Intended audience

Learning Objectives
- Translate audiovisual learning into demonstrated techniques in compounding
- Relate a technique to its impact on qualitative and quantitative assessment outcomes
- Select and assemble techniques into an appropriate order of operation for a dosage form
- Prepare various solid, semisolid and liquid dosage forms
It has been demonstrated through scientific study that visual observation interspersed with practice, as compared to visual observation alone, results in a higher level of learning of motor skills and longer retention. We strongly encourage program participants with access to a compounding facility, to combine observational learning from the videos with hands-on practice sessions.1
