Program Description:
The KPIC Handling Hazardous Drugs in the Pharmacy Setting Training Program is an intensive education experience designed to equip pharmacists, technicians, and inspectors with immersive, hands on training in the safe handling and preparation of hazardous drug products. Learners will be provided training in the USP regulatory requirements and best practices to promote healthcare personnel and patient safety when utilizing hazardous drug compounds.
The live sessions incorporate didactic training and hands on skills training focused on the current requirements and best practices in preparation for situations most likely to be encountered when pharmacy personnel are preparing hazardous drugs. Program participants will receive training on the regulatory standards and best practices related to donning personal protective equipment, proper utilization and maintenance of equipment utilized with hazardous drug compounding, proper technique and utilization of closed system transfer devices (CSTDs), and proper cleaning and spill control related to hazardous drugs. Learners must successfully demonstrate competency via various hands-on simulations in the state of the art compounding facility. The training course content will be delivered through the use of didactic training, live demonstrations, hands-on simulation training, and practical skill assessments.
