PCCA also conducts Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE)-accredited Continuing Education Programs in the form of seminars and symposiums to provide PCCA member pharmacists and physicians with ongoing opportunities to earn CE or CME credit and learn the latest information about how pharmacy compounding can be beneficial in various areas of medicine. These programs also provide invaluable networking sessions where colleagues from across the United States and Canada share what has worked well for their compounding practices and emphasize the critical importance of the triad relationship - the patient, physician and pharmacist.
