The Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery program is the nationally known APhA certificate training program recognized by state boards of pharmacy and national chains and taught by USC School of Pharmacy faculty.  To allow for easier travel plans to our campus and to minimize the amount of time you need to be on campus, we have broken the traditional 8 hour program up into a 3 hour live webinar followed the next day by a 5 hour live onsite training (see Agenda tab for the details).

Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery is an innovative and interactive practice-based educational program that provides pharmacists with the skills necessary to become primary sources for vaccine advocacy, education, and administration.  The program reviews the basics of immunology, identifies legal and regulatory issues pharmacists must consider before starting an immunization program, and focuses on practice implementation.

There are three components to the certificate training program:
- 12 hour (1.2 CEU) self-study modules with case studies and assessment exams
- 8.0 hour (0.80 CEU) live seminar with final exam
- Hands on assessment of intramuscular and subcutaneous injection technique
The purpose of this educational program is to:
- Provide comprehensive immunization education and training.
- Provide pharmacists with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to establish and promote a successful immunization service.
- Teach pharmacists to identify at-risk patient populations needing immunizations.
- Teach pharmacists to administer immunizations in compliance with legal and regulatory standards.

Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery is conducted in two parts: the self-study and the live training.  A Certificate of Achievement will be awarded to participants who successfully complete all program components, including an evaluation form.  Statements of Credit and Certificates will be issued within 4-6 weeks of USC School of Pharmacy's receipt of program materials.
