Are you interested in learning more about compounding? Register for the 2018 PCCA Student Boot Camp on Saturday, February 10, 2018 and Sunday, February 11, 2018 from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm. This program will introduce students to unique dosage forms, basic compounding techniques, legal and regulatory updates, and quality and safety aspects used by contemporary compounding pharmacists. 

Students from SCCP/USCCOP work in teams to develop a written business plan to either create a new community pharmacy or purchase an existing community pharmacy. Teams are able to work with a faculty/practitioner mentor for guidance if needed. Three teams will be selected from the written plans to participate in the finals, which allows the teams to provide a formal presentation of their business idea.
