Provincial Requirements

While pharmacy regulatory bodies in all provinces and territories recognize CCCEP accreditation, at this time there are no specific requirements for competency mapped accredited programs in the area of compounding.

It should be noted that jurisdictions vary in the authorization of non-regulated pharmacy personnel to perform compounding tasks and the outsource compounding of a preparation to another pharmacy. Issuance of competency-mapped accreditation to a provider and completion of such programs by participants should not be considered as authorization for the performance of any task(s). Participants are encouraged to confirm authorization to perform specific tasks with their respective regulatory body.

 

Program Requirements

Compounding Programs may focus on one of the following:

  • Non-sterile compounding
  • Sterile non-hazardous compounding
  • Sterile hazardous compounding

All programs must meet the following conditions:

  1. The program addresses the 13 required competencies, as outlined in the application and assessment rubric applicable to the focus area(s) noted above.

Required Competencies

Whether the education program is focused on non-sterile, sterile non-hazardous, or sterile hazardous compounding, each must meet the 13 required competencies, as well as the content and assessment elements expected in a learning activity that is intended to address these competencies. These requirements and expectations are outlined in the applicable Application and Assessment Rubric/Form. These forms can be found on the CCCEP forms page.

 

Accreditation Review Process

The comptency mapped accreditation review process for compounding programs is a two-stage process.

  • Stage 1: Regular review for a CCCEP accredited Continuing Education Program
  • Stage 2: Review the extent to which the program addresses the required competencies

The Stage 1 review process is the process that is used for all new learning activities. The Stage 2 review process examines the program content to determine the extent to which it addresses each of the required competencies.
