This course includes a home study component ($825 value) that serves as a prerequisite to the live activity. To review the full activity description of the home study component click here. To access your home study, click on the “Take Course” button in the Course Summary box.
This practice-based activity features a series of sixteen workstations. Participants will work in small groups, moving from workstation-to-workstation every hour. Live competency assessment reports will be completed by facilitators throughout the duration of this live event, providing immediate performance-related feedback to participants. Prior to the workstation rotations, participants will engage in a live event orientation. This orientation includes a gowning demonstration, followed by a practical orientation that explores a unique quality management system – System P (Personnel, Property, Procedure, Process, Preparation, and Patient). This is followed by an aseptic technique practical skills assessment which assists facilitators in the grouping of participants in accordance to their respective skill level. Once participants are appropriately assigned to their respective groups, workstation rotations will commence. Workstations, addressing non-hazardous and hazardous drug compounding, include:
- Preparation of four compounded sterile medications while working in a current USP Chapter <797> compliant clean room environment featuring a garbing room.
- Four simulated sterile preparations with a focus on aseptic techniques.
- Manipulation of a broad range of reusable and disposable technology including closed system transfer devices for use during hazardous drug compounding.
- Disinfection procedures.
- Media-fill challenge test.
- Documentation of a master formulation record template.
- Creation of a facility design and its related workflow.
- Risk management assessment and process development.
- Verification protocol development.
- Observational auditing.
- Automated compounding device training which features a peristaltic pump.
Participants will gain valuable experience in handling modern technology for today’s compounding pharmacy practice including electromechanical equipment, reusable and disposable devices, testing technologies used for viable surface sampling, non-viable and viable particulate monitoring, preparation sterility and endotoxin testing, wet and dry heat sterilization methods, depyrogenation, incubation, and SEC/PEC HEPA filter integrity and airflow dynamics. Positive and negative control technology is also highlighted and incorporates the use of indicators and integrators.
Participants will undergo visual observation and performance assessments throughout the activity, as they perfect their aseptic techniques of hand washing, garbing, moving within and between ISO class environments, and technology manipulation which includes end-stage filtration and filter integrity testing. Throughout this live event, time allotments have been built into the schedule for participant question and answer periods. The activity concludes with a brief summary and closing remarks presentation.
