Based on USP 797, formalized IV Training is now a requirement for all Pharmacists & Pharmacy Technicians involved in sterile compounding, whether in a hospital setting, Infusion Suite, Long Term Care or Compounding Pharmacies who have taken on sterile compounding as a product line. This is a national standard that is applicable to all pharmacies across the USA. This is also referred to as SCAT (Sterile Compounding Admixture Training)
We have been teaching this course since 2005 and have helped thousands of Pharmacists from all over the USA and abroad to get National IV Training on compounding Sterile IV Products. Our Instructors are certified by the University of Houston as Certified IV Instructors, who provide a unique learning experience for all the students.
Pharmacists can register for the regularly scheduled monthly class (P-1) or do the expedited one on one training at your convenience on any weekday with one weeks’ notice.
You may call to schedule your one-on-one training or simply register for the class, and we will send the open dates available.
