10. Value the data from recordings from logs and forms related to standard operating procedures and the corrective measures that should be investigated following an assessment of data that falls outside of acceptable norms, parameters, and specifications.
11. Assess structural, functional, and workflow dynamics-related considerations as it applies to facility design requirements for non-hazardous and hazardous drug compounding.
12. Construct relationships between routes of delivery, chemical composition, and generalized preparatory procedures for non-sterile dosage forms.
13. Analyse clinical case scenarios utilizing the concepts; be a star, balancing stability and suitability, and customization with appropriate compromise to aid in the decision-making processes related to medication therapy.
14. Support the transition from process development, to master formulation record, and to compounding record through the use of a template designed to incorporate the parameters for all three formulation stages.
15. Manage a clinical case scenario through the use of a flow chart to navigate through your decision-making requirements leading to a compounded medication.
16. Prepare a broad range of non-sterile dosage forms; hydro-alcoholic gels, rapid dissolve tablets, lollipops, chewable treats for animals, capsules, troches, suppositories, and creams.

Overall Learning Objectives for Technicians

1. Support the marketing initiatives and critical messages put forth by pharmacy owners; specifically their accuracy, appeal, and overall ability to well promote a compounding practice.

9. Value the data from recordings from logs and forms related to standard operating procedures, a shared responsibility between pharmacist and technician, and the corrective measures that should be investigated following an assessment of data that falls outside of acceptable norms, parameters, and specifications.
10. Assess structural, functional, and workflow dynamics-related considerations, should the technician which to make recommendations for change, as it applies to facility design requirements for non-hazardous and hazardous drug compounding.
11. Construct relationships between routes of delivery, chemical composition, and generalized preparatory procedures for non-sterile dosage forms so as to gain an appreciation for the preparatory procedures and excipient requirements of a compounded medication.
12. Assess clinical case scenarios utilizing the concepts; be a star, balancing stability and suitability, and customization with appropriate compromise so as to gain an appreciation for the complexities surrounding dosage form design and its relationship to medication therapy.
13. Support the transition from process development, to master formulation record, and to compounding record through the use of a template designed to incorporate the parameters for all three formulation stages.
14. Value a clinical case scenario flow chart that helps the compounder to navigate through decision-making requirements leading to a compounded medication.
15. Prepare a broad range of non-sterile dosage forms; hydro-alcoholic gels, rapid dissolve tablets, lollipops, chewable treats for animals, capsules, troches, suppositories, and creams.
