I've been researching the different compounding/IV/Chemo CE-Cert courses run by the various non-profit associations in hopes of building my resume as I look for my first post-grad gig. PCCA is about 2.5-3k dollars; Medisco is 3k, depending on the course.
Fagron is much cheaper at 1.5k/course. However, the National Pharmacy Tech Association (NPTA) is accredited by ACPE for training pharm techs and pharmacists in compounding/IV/Chemo courses for only 1.5k for all three. I would obviously like to go for all three courses; however, the "pharm tech" in the NPTA is scaring me. What kind of decline in value would it be for a pharmacist that gothis certification/CE from NPTA as opposed to a straight pharmacist organization. If forced to do Fagron or PCCA, I will likely just do one course due to the expense.
Thanks in advance.
