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.

Do Not Use Infant Head Shaping Pillows to Prevent or Treat Any Medical Condition - FDA.gov

• Trusted FDA cGMP online training classes, courses, and programs offered by SkillsPlus International Inc.

According to the FDA:

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that parents and caregivers do not use infant head shaping pillows intended to change an infant’s head shape or symmetry or claim to prevent or treat any medical condition. The FDA is not aware of any demonstrated benefit with the use of infant head shaping pillows for any medical purpose. The use of head shaping pillows can create an unsafe sleep environment for infants and may contribute to the risk of suffocation and death.

Infant head shaping pillows are not FDA-approved. The safety and effectiveness of these products have not been established ... "

Alcohol Deaths Take Lives of Working-Age Americans

I'm surprised at the research findings.

"Alcohol consumption is a leading preventable cause of death in the US, and death rates from fully alcohol-attributable causes (eg, alcoholic liver disease) have increased in the past decade, including among adults aged 20 to 64 years."

"The findings of this cross-sectional study suggest that an estimated 1 in 8 total deaths among US adults aged 20 to 64 years were attributable to excessive alcohol use, including 1 in 5 deaths among adults aged 20 to 49 years. The number of premature deaths could be reduced with increased implementation of evidenced-based, population-level alcohol policies, such as increasing alcohol taxes or regulating alcohol outlet density."

Your Favorite Cereal May No Longer Be 'Healthy' Under New FDA Guidance - Food and Wine

• FDA GMP online training courses, programs, and classes by SkillsPlus International Inc.

According to the article:

"The FDA has proposed a change to the definition of "healthy," and breakfast cereal brands, in particular, could suffer.  ...

"Under the proposed definition," the FDA wrote, "more foods that are part of a healthy dietary pattern and recommended by the Dietary Guidelines would be eligible to use the claim on their labeling, including nuts and seeds, higher fat fish (such as salmon), certain oils and water."

However, as the FDA admits, the changes could also force some foods to drop their healthy claims — and one example the agency has tossed around multiple times is breakfast cereal, in large part due to the proposed definition's increased emphasis on added sugars."
