Before settling in for several days of sun and "fun" with many of our compounding pharmacy colleagues at the IACP Educational Conference this week in San Diego, Gates Healthcare has a few tidbits of news to share.


The first involves the addition of two new members to our consulting team -- an exciting development as we continue to broaden and deepen our pool of experts to enhance our services and best meet our clients' needs. The other involves a current member of our team imparting his knowledge of compounding pharmacy and how our profession can take advantage of the growing field of personalized medicine.

Please read on for more details, and best wishes.

Compounding Gets More Personal
at IACP Educational Conference

Ken Speidel, RPh, BSPharm, PharmD, FACA, FIACP, Vice President of Compounding Compliance for Gates Healthcare Associates, will deliver a presentation during the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists' Educational Conference this week in San Diego.

During his CE session on Friday, February 24 at the IACP conference, Speidel will discuss personalizing pharmacotherapy through
compounding pharmacy.

Among other objectives, pharmacists and technicians will learn about the competencies and skills that compounders should possess to better position themselves for the rapidly growing field of personalized medicine.

"Compounding specailists must utilize known pharmacology, physiology, pharmaceutics, pharmacogenomics and all the tools they can to prove that compounding pharmacy is as close to individualized care as the physician's stethoscope," Speidel says.
