Fundamental Compounding with Pharmacy Law | August 6-8, 2026
Fundamental Compounding with Pharmacy Law is a live, multi-day compounding course designed for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy professionals seeking a strong foundation in both compounding practices and regulatory compliance. This course integrates compounding principles with pharmacy law to support safe, compliant, and high-quality compounding operations.
Participants will review the regulatory framework governing pharmacy compounding, including applicable federal and state considerations and key United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards. Emphasis is placed on documentation, quality assurance, policies and procedures, and compliance requirements essential to day-to-day compounding practice.
The course includes instruction and hands-on training in common nonsterile dosage forms, such as capsules, molded dosage forms, and topical preparations. Participants will learn proper techniques, equipment use, quality control measures, and best practices to support consistency and patient safety.
A dedicated session on hazardous drug handling addresses requirements for facilities, engineering controls, PPE, and personnel training, with alignment to applicable USP standards and safety expectations.
This program combines didactic instruction and application-based learning to reinforce compounding knowledge, regulatory awareness, and practical skills in a structured, in-person environment.

What attendees said:
- “The ACA Fundamentals of Compounding Course was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my pharmacy. The small, hands-on setting, focus on USP 795/800, and opportunity to network with both new and experienced compounders made it invaluable. Highly recommend!”
- “The instructor effectively highlighted important topics and used real-world examples to support learning. The small class size made it easy to ask questions and have open discussions.”
- “The class was great. The networking with other pharmacists from different areas was great. I was immediately able to take the knowledge learned and apply it in my store.”
