Held at the Aseptic Compounding Experience (ACE) Lab at the South Carolina College of Pharmacy in Columbia, SC, this training program delivers high-quality, cost-effective professional development and networking opportunities. We believe that the best way for pharmacists and other compounding professionals to understand and implement current standards of practice is to be immersed in a setting that provides access to a comprehensive curriculum in a real-life setting with hands-on practice mentored by faculty who are truly subject matter experts.

CriticalPoint’s Sterile Compounding Boot Camp™ indoctrinates learners to current sterile compounding best practices through presentation of theoretical and practical information presented in e-learning, classroom and realistic workplace simulations. Once registered, attendees are provided with access to selected CriticalPoint e-learning lessons which must be completed prior to the onsite attendance. Once at the class, learners are presented information to assist them to implement cleanroom principles and practices that comply with USP <797> as well as industry best practices. Classes are taught in a state-of-the-art facility designed for cleanroom and pharmacy practice demonstration. Topics covered include cleanroom physical design and layout; engineering controls and airflow science; personnel media fill testing and process validation as well as an exploration of principles associated with workflow, cleaning, environmental sampling, validation, staff training and documentation. Attendees completing this program will gain an understanding of how to develop and implement an operation that meets or exceeds USP Chapter <797> requirements. Participants will take home sample electronic templates for policies, procedures and documentation that can be customized to their facility’s needs.
