CriticalPoint has expanded its online offerings to now include 503B eLearning.  The web-based curriculum will ensure participants acquire a comprehensive understanding of how and why 503B practice evolved. These lessons also summarize each of the FDA draft and final guidances so that learners know where to seek guidance for 503B practice. Successful completion of this course will prepare pharmacists to fulfill the role required by the Compounding Quality Act (known as the Drug Quality and Safety Act or DQSA) which requires that drugs are compounded in compliance with the cGMPs under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist.

The eCourses in Sterile Compounding are CriticalPoint’s Flagship offering. First released in 2007, these eCourse have been continually updated to reflect best practices and the revision of the Chapter <797>.  CriticalPoint has updated the Sterile Compounding eLearning curriculum to include new course material covering Chapter <800> along with new and revised content covering <797> . As part of this process, all content has been extensively revised with additional information, high resolution images and interactivity. The new format will create a far more engaging learning experience and we believe will result in improved knowledge transfer and performance change.

Some of the changes include:

• Individual Procedures broken down into interactive steps
• Videos demonstrating actual procedures
• Interactive exercises that check the learner’s knowledge
• Lessons and Post Tests packaged together

CriticalPoint’s Pharmacy Sterile Compounding Course has been developed to meet the requirements of the Texas Administrative Code Title 22, Part 15, Chapter 291, Subchapter G, Rules 291.133. This engaging curriculum includes 34 hours of eLearning and 6 hours of live training to meet the requirements of 40 ACPE credits in a single course.   This course provides students with both didactic and experiential training and covers certain curriculum requirements of sterile compounding.
