Hands-on instruction in the Santa Cruz Pharma Care laboratory, Bayamón
Theory and practice the same day, inside the working lab
Integrated 18-hour in-person course for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Covers regulatory foundations (USP 〈795〉, 〈800〉, PR Pharmacy Act, DQSA), formulation, and clinical cases by specialty.
The same 18-hour in-person course (USP 〈795〉 and 〈800〉) for other licensed non-pharmacist professionals. Same training and supervised practice; certificate of completion with no ACPE CE credit.
An in-person program for pre-licensure students. Two didactic modules on the USP chapters that govern nonsterile compounding and hazardous-drug handling, taught at our Bayamón campus.
Next cohort
Three consecutive days at our Bayamón laboratory. Small cohort by design — seats are limited so every participant gets individual instructor review.
Students · August 5–7, 2026
Pharmacists & Technicians · August 13–15, 2026
Enrollment closes when the cohort fills or when the course begins.
