Testimonials:
The greatest aspect of the training that LP3 offers is the instructors that teach these courses. At my Non-sterile training, I was excited to have Joe Cabaleiro and Mark Filosi as the main instructors. Joe is one of the compounders that helped establish PCAB years ago and continues to stay active in the regulatory aspect. Mark is a self-made, well-established compounder that has the experience and skills needed to run his own compounding pharmacy, which he has been doing for years. Together, they make a team that is at the forefront of compounding, teaching you how to compound beyond regulation standards. Kyle Dolan | |
The training is a true hands-on experience, with a group of trainers who are experts and are very open to answer all questions and teach the secrets of successful compounding. I learned a lot, regarding the techniques and quality control, suppository and capsule making, packaging, and the availability of compounding aids. This training will help me in my day-to-day practice, in particular with preparations of capsules and suppositories. Parvaneh Moussavian | |
The Non-sterile compounding training program provides you with a broad outlook on the different formulations, which can help to customize patients’ therapeutic needs. Not only does it give you theoretical knowledge, but also hands-on experience of several compounding formulations under expert supervision. The training not only gives you an idea of how to prepare formulations, but also teaches you how to make them correctly. Along with the practical approach, you also get an idea on how to approach Health Care Providers and offer these specialty services. Pharmacist, Ontario |
