CriticalPoint: Sterile Compounding Competency Assessment

Offer high-quality and efficient sterile compounding and hazardous drug-handling training to your pharmacy staff that meets the latest and most stringent state regulatory requirements.

Ensure State-Compliant Staff Onboarding

Regulatory standards for sterile compounding and hazardous drug handling are tightening. States like Texas, and others now require pharmacists to complete 20 hours of ACPE-accredited CE and pharmacy technicians to complete 40 hours of comprehensive training and pass competency assessments before they can perform these duties. 

However, current training options are often costly with limited modalities, as most options are only available in-person, and target individual purchasers. Our solution offers a convenient online training option, and is designed for employers searching for a scalable, cost-effective solution they can easily implement in-house to meet staffing and training needs. 

CriticalPoint: Sterile Compounding Competency Assessment offers a high-quality, streamlined, and affordable way for hospital and specialty pharmacies, and other healthcare facilities to train their pharmacy staff on the latest state-regulatory compounding requirements.  

Our solution provides everything facilities need to stay compliant with state board mandates—without the hassle or expense of in-person training.
