What is the ASHP Sterile Compounding Designated Persons Training?
The ASHP DP Competency Training is a 1 ½ day immersive program held at the 2025 ASHP Pharmacy Futures meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina to train and assess the competency of individuals assigned by an organization to be responsible and accountable for sterile compounding operations. It includes live didactic and practical sessions on viable sampling plans, restoring cleanroom certification after excursions, and CSP use times from compounding to administration.
