The purpose of the Competency Attestation Form is to document that Certified Compounded Sterile Preparation Technician® (CSPT®) Program Requirements for training, skill assessment, and competency assessment have been completed. PTCB requires completion of the form to earn initial CSPT Certification, as well as annually to maintain CSPT Certification.
The supervisor who fills out the form must be in good standing with their employer and any regulatory bodies (like the state board of pharmacy) that oversee their worksite.
The supervisor must also have at least 5 years of experience working with or supervising the making of compounded sterile preparations (CSPs).
If the supervisor has less than 5 years of experience, they must include a letter from the pharmacy director explaining why they are qualified to supervise CSP production.
