April 8: Pharmacist Administered Injectables Certificate Training Program

 

OPA is pleased to re-introduce its live training program on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, for pharmacists who plan to administer dangerous drugs by injection.

Pharmacists who plan to administer these dangerous drugs must:

• Complete a course in the administration of drugs that meets the requirements in Ohio Administrative
  Code 4729:1-3-03(L);
• Receive and maintain certification to perform basic life-support procedures by completing a basic life support training course certified by the American Red Cross, American Heart Association, American
  Safety and Health Institute, or other training course approved by the board of pharmacy;
• Practice in accordance with a protocol established by a physician, certified nurse-midwife, clinical nurse
  specialist, or certified nurse practitioner which satisfies the requirements established in rules adopted by
  the State Board of Pharmacy.

The Ohio Pharmacists Foundation offers this certificate training program to meet these requirements. The program includes 10 hours (1.0 CEUs) of home study coursework and 3.5 hours (0.35 CEUs) of live coursework. Both home and live portions must be completed to receive the certification. Participants will also receive a protocol package which includes draft protocols for pharmacist administered injectables.

The live training will be held as a pre-Annual Conference Training event at the Hilton Columbus at Easton, 3900 Chagrin Dr Columbus Ohio, 43219.
