Continuing education (CE) credits for pharmacists and compounding compliance

With the updated 2023 USP compounding chapters, the responsibilities of pharmacy teams have increased. Beyond the standard Continuing Education (CE) requirements for licensure, pharmacy leaders must now ensure that employees complete annual training for core skills specific to their roles, as mandated by USP compounding standards.

For pharmacies engaging in advanced compounding—such as extending Beyond-Use-Dates for Category 2 Compounded Sterile Preparations (CSPs), starting with non-sterile ingredients, or for Category 3 CSPs—these educational demands are even greater. To support these complex operations, SoleSource Academy now offers a specialized catalog of Advanced Compounding courses. These courses provide the necessary training on stability and sterility testing, nonsterile-to-sterile workflows, and sterilization methods, ensuring your staff can meet these rigorous requirements with confidence and precision.

The continual advances in the scope of pharmacy practice and the increasing complexity of patient care mean that staff are always busy. Continuing education must be aligned with these changing roles and regulations, yet concise, consumable, and engaging to meet the needs of pharmacy professionals.

Focused on USP core skills

Pharmacy continuing education needs for USP Chapters 795, 797, and 800 must be focused, efficient, evidence-based, and tailored to the needs of new and tenured staff across multiple roles. Integration with Simplifi 797 ensures alignment with policies and competencies.

Modern and relevant

CE content must adapt to the changing requirements of pharmacy teams and be presented in a modern, engaging format that reinforces core skills. Pharmacy teams have different needs based on license, role, and tenure - we understand education isn't ‘one size fits all.’  

Easy to manage

Pharmacy leaders have to ensure staff meet training requirements that are increasingly rigorous and complex to manage. Your continuing education partner should help you stay on top of these requirements with management tools designed for compliance.
