PCCA Institute @ PCCA (pharmacy e*learning) was founded to expand PCCA's mission of strengthening the skills of compounding pharmacists to meet the unique healthcare needs of patients, using state-of-the-art education technology. Partnering with colleges of pharmacy and other accredited education providers, PCCA Institute is using the Internet to provide an array of basic pharmaceutical science courses which can be accessed by a pharmacy student at any venue on a 24 hours, 7 days a week schedule.

"PCCA's compounding training classes are designed to provide students with a better understanding of prescription compounding and its positive impact on pharmaceutical care," said Bill Letendre, MS Pharm, MBA, Director of the PCCA Institute. "Although some compounding is included in pharmacy school curriculum, we are offering options to schools to help meet the students' increasing interest in compounding. It is a skill that will enable them to differentiate themselves from other pharmacists, and will provide both financial and professional rewards in their future careers."

The role of e*learning is to deliver the fundamental aspects of pharmaceutical compounding in a convenient and practical approach. The PCCA Institute is a provider of continuing pharmaceutical education through Quest Educational Services, as approved by the American Council of Pharmaceutical Education (ACPE). Many of the Institute's courses offer continuing education (CE) credit.
