They are way better than PCCA! The problem with PCCA is that they have territory accounts. So, if someone already has PCCA certification in a particular zip code, they will not let you become a member. There was some fallout with some members with PCCA and that's how MEDISCA got started with their compounding program. How do I know? I went to one of the compounding classes in California last fall and one of the other classmates told me. It was definitely a meeting of the minds (MOM)!! You don't have to become a member with Medisca. With PCCA you have to pay like 15,000-20,000 for the entire week class. The thing about Medisca is that you can pick and choose what works for you. Kinda, like a chinese buffet. You have individual courses as opposed to taking an entire week off instead of a weekend.
