About the Course:

This microcredential, Compounding Regulations and Practice, introduces pharmacy technician students to the regulatory and procedural standards governing sterile and non-sterile compounding. Learners will explore the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) chapters <795>, <797>, and <800>, focusing on compliance, documentation, and quality assurance in compounding environments. These regulatory compounding concepts complement structured preparation offered through pharmacy technician training program pathways that support real-world pharmacy skill development. Through VR-based simulations, students will experience compounding area design, workflow organization, and tracking procedures that ensure product integrity and patient safety.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain the purpose of USP <795>, <797>, and <800> standards and their impact on compounding practice.
  • Differentiate between sterile and non-sterile compounding requirements.
  • Identify key compliance and documentation practices required for compounded preparations.
  • Understand the environmental, personal, and procedural controls that maintain sterility and prevent contamination.
  • Demonstrate familiarity with tracking, labeling, and recordkeeping for compounded products.
  • Recognize technician responsibilities in maintaining quality and regulatory compliance during compounding.

Course delivered via LMS and requires an Oculus VR headset for hands-on VR simulations.
