FDA Protects Patients from Harmful Drugs Through the Drug Supply Chain Security Act - FDA.gov

According to the article:

"Ensuring reliable patient access to safe and effective medicines requires every link in the supply chain to be secure: from the moment a drug leaves the manufacturer until it reaches a pharmacy or health care professional’s offices. Since 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been implementing the Drug Supply Chain Security Act, a law known as DSCSA. This law gives the FDA more regulatory tools to detect and help ensure the removal of dangerous drugs from the supply chain, such as those that may be counterfeit, stolen, contaminated, or otherwise harmful."

Approved | Recommended Designated Representative Training | Board-Approved Courses

Register for a Board-approved online training program now:

California Designated Representative Training Programs - Approved by the California State Board of Pharmacy

Are You Applying For A Designated Representative License?

If you're applying for a California Designated Representative license, then you'll need to include proof of required training (specifically, a training affidavit) in your license application packet. Earn a training affidavit by taking any one of our approved California Designated Representative training courses.

SkillsPlus International Inc. offers the largest selection of California Board of Pharmacy-approved training programs for California Designated Representative license applicants; and is the ONLY Board-approved provider of three distinct California Designated Representative online training classes (including one for Reverse Distributors). Each online course confers a Board-recognized training affidavit.

Here's Why You Should Take An "Approved" Training Program Or Course

The California Designated Representative Application - Training Affidavit Form specifies:

  • "The individual applying for a designated representative license in California has completed an approved training program required by Section 4053(b)(3) of the California Business and Professions Code that addressed ..."
  • That the training affidavit must "be completed by the person having direct knowledge of the applicant’s training. The applicant may not verify his/her own training."

The Board is essentially saying:

  • If applicants attempt self-study, or take "home-grown" training that isn't Board-approved, the submitted training program won't be accepted.
  • Let the buyer beware! If you need a Board-approved training course, make sure the program being offered is officially approved and accepted by the Board of Pharmacy.
