Nanogram Pharmaceutical Compounding Ltd. Validate Online Platform

Overall project objectives are:

1. Determine what level minimum level of training required for non-accredited personnel to accurately and competently compound prescription medications. This objective will be accomplished through intern participation in formal and informal training, followed by assessment of their skills in real scenarios. Documentation of training methods and possible deficiencies will help in creating a standardized training manual. This documentation can also be used in future applications as an interest representation to professional regulatory bodies that there needs to be a minimum level of training to be involved in compounding, and a suggestion as to what that minimum is and how we determined the minimum.

2. Test, authenticate, validate, assist in developing a manual, and identify deficiencies in the online platform software. Interns will require knowledge in compounding (which will be acquired through training requirements) in order to complete objectives and produce deliverables.

Deliverables include validating and testing a method to train staff who have no prior pharmacy experience (non-accredited) to become compounding specialists. Determining the minimum threshold of training is necessary in order to employ non-accredited personnel in the future and to prove (through documentation of interns’ training, experience and competence) how we determined the minimum threshold.
