The pharmacy staff may have extra anxiety the few days before a survey is conducted by the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board, but, by following the pre-survey tips included in this article, compounding pharmacists and their staff can channel the extra energy into productive activites that will help in achieving accreditation.
