Comprehensive Compounding Education and Compliance Support
CriticalPoint, part of TRC Healthcare, provides compounding education and competency assessment for pharmacy teams working under USP <795>, <797>, and <800>. Its ACPE-accredited eLearning covers introductory through advanced sterile compounding, nonsterile compounding, hazardous drug handling, pharmacy math, and 503B compounding. Programs range from 5 to 34.5 CE hours, so teams can match training to each employee’s role and risk level.
Content is developed, taught, and updated by compounding practitioners and educators who work with pharmacies and regulators. That practical perspective is reflected in the curriculum, which is used both to train pharmacy staff and to prepare state board inspectors. Beyond coursework, CriticalPoint offers a Sterile Compounding Competency Assessment and a library of supporting resources, including rubrics, forms, and templates. Its CE and training organizer also helps track license requirements and course completions across a team.
More than 2,400 pharmacy sites and 60,000 participants have used CriticalPoint training.
Assign and Track CriticalPoint Training in Pestle
Through its partnership with Pestle, pharmacies can incorporate CriticalPoint education and resources into the same system they use to manage onboarding, employee training, competencies, and compliance activities. This gives pharmacy leaders a more organized way to connect education with the day-to-day processes used to prepare staff and maintain readiness.
CriticalPoint courses are available in Pestle as ready-to-use assignments. Administrators can assign training based on an employee’s role, responsibilities, or compounding activities; establish due dates; monitor progress; and maintain completion documentation alongside other employee records. Each task directs the learner to the appropriate course in CriticalPoint.
Connect Education to Competency Management
Pharmacies can also incorporate CriticalPoint templates, forms, and supporting resources into their Pestle programs. These materials can help organizations standardize training activities, reinforce expectations, and connect educational content with broader competency and compliance requirements.
A More Organized Approach to Compliance Readiness
Together, Pestle and CriticalPoint help pharmacy teams build and manage a comprehensive training program without separating education from the rest of their compliance workflow. Teams retain access to CriticalPoint’s practitioner-developed education and supporting resources while using Pestle as a central location to schedule activities, document completion, manage employee competencies, and maintain supporting records.
