Ultimately, this role safeguards patient health by guaranteeing that compounded medications are consistently produced to exacting quality standards.

  • In-depth knowledge of USP <795>, USP <797>, USP <800>, and FDA regulations applicable to pharmaceutical compounding.
  • Strong understanding of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and quality management systems.
  • Proven ability to conduct audits, manage documentation, and implement quality control measures.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Certification in Quality Assurance (e.g., ASQ Certified Quality Auditor or equivalent).
  • Experience working in a sterile compounding environment.
  • Familiarity with electronic quality management systems (eQMS) and laboratory information management systems (LIMS).
  • Advanced degree (Master’s or PharmD) in a relevant field.
  • Experience with risk assessment methodologies and root cause analysis.

  • Develop, implement, and maintain quality assurance procedures and documentation specific to pharmaceutical compounding operations.
  • Conduct regular audits and inspections of compounding processes, equipment, and facilities to ensure compliance with USP <795>, <797>, and other relevant standards.
  • Review and approve batch records, compounding formulas, and quality control test results prior to product release.
  • Investigate deviations, non-conformances, and complaints related to compounded products, and coordinate corrective and preventive actions.
  • Train and support compounding staff on quality assurance policies, regulatory requirements, and best practices to promote a culture of quality and compliance.

Skills:

The required skills enable the professional to rigorously evaluate compounding processes and ensure compliance with regulatory standards, which is essential for maintaining product quality and patient safety. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are used daily to investigate deviations and implement effective corrective actions. Communication skills are vital for training staff and collaborating with cross-functional teams to foster a quality-driven environment. Attention to detail ensures accurate documentation and thorough audits, preventing errors and regulatory non-compliance.
