California Designated Representative Training Programs - Approved by the California State Board of Pharmacy

Are You Applying For A Designated Representative License?

If you're applying for a California Designated Representative license, then you'll need to include proof of required training (specifically, a training affidavit) in your license application packet. Earn a training affidavit by taking any one of our approved California Designated Representative training courses.

SkillsPlus International Inc. offers the largest selection of California Board of Pharmacy-approved training programs for California Designated Representative license applicants; and is the ONLY Board-approved provider of three distinct California Designated Representative online training classes (including one for Reverse Distributors). Each online course confers a Board-recognized training affidavit.

Here's Why You Should Take An "Approved" Training Program Or Course

The California Designated Representative Application - Training Affidavit Form specifies:

"The individual applying for a designated representative license in California has completed an approved training program required by Section 4053(b)(3) of the California Business and Professions Code that addressed ..."
That the training affidavit must "be completed by the person having direct knowledge of the applicant’s training. The applicant may not verify his/her own training."

The Board is essentially saying:

If applicants attempt self-study, or take "home-grown" training that isn't Board-approved, the submitted training program won't be accepted.
Let the buyer beware! If you need a Board-approved training course, make sure the program being offered is officially approved and accepted by the Board of Pharmacy.

The FDA has issued another DSCSA exemption, and posted a summary of it, on their Waivers and Exemptions Beyond the Stabilization Period webpage.

In a nutshell, in the October 9, 2024 exemption, the exemptions apply to any partners who have completed or made documented compliance efforts but still face data exchange challenges. The FDA said it is granting additional time to avoid supply chain disruptions that may impact patients’ access to needed medications.

According to the article:

"The survey, which queried 500 home-based adult patients and 500 paid and unpaid caregivers, showed that both patients and caregivers are overwhelmed and stressed. Both groups equally (31%) blame each other when there is a delay in receiving life-saving medical equipment. Findings further exhibit that many patients are left in the dark, unaware of any coordinated assistance services made available by their health insurers. An overwhelming majority (77%) of the patients also reported that they are the primary contact for their medical suppliers. The survey also disclosed that 59% of patients received unreliable or poor-quality medical supplies and equipment."

According to the news article:

"Wholesalers that distribute prescription drugs to pharmacies need scrutiny as Congress investigates the roles of supply chain middlemen in drug pricing, analysts say."

"Wholesalers have gotten limited attention on Capitol Hill, even as tackling high drug costs has become a major priority among key lawmakers in both chambers. Various entities can benefit from higher list prices from drugmakers, researchers and analysts say. Any examination of how drug prices are formed should include wholesalers and all other components of the supply chain, they argue."

HME Companies Must Innovate

According the article:

"In response to retailers like Best Buy trying to wedge their way into home care, one respondent wrote, “HME companies must innovate, or their products and services will become low-margin commodities.”

“Innovators and disruptors will always cross the line – it’s integral [to] the process,” the respondent wrote. “For example, it is now common for payers to provide physician primary care services and patient monitoring, so for a company like Best Buy that has been selling health wearables for years, the apparent intrusion into HME is really a normal course of business. Atrium-Best Buy patients and stakeholders will help steer the fulfillment process for HME products and services, like it or not.” "

That the training affidavit must "be completed by the person having direct knowledge of the applicant’s training. The applicant may not verify his/her own training."

Pulse Oximeter Accuracy and Limitations - FDA.gov

noreply@blogger.com (Austin Lee) — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 12:32:00 +0000

Trusted California HMDR Exemptee training certification program for home medical device retail Exemptee license applicants and their supervisors/managers | State-approved by the CDPH

Doctors have long known that pulse oximeters are less accurate in estimating blood oxygen levels in non-white patients, but the discrepancies were considered insignificant. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed some of the real dangers of these flaws, as the devices gave falsely high oxygen readings in patients with dark skin.

"The FDA announced a virtual meeting of the CDRH Anesthesiology and Respiratory Therapy Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee on November 1, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time. For additional meeting details, see the meeting announcement in the Federal Register.

The committee will discuss ongoing concerns that pulse oximeters may be less accurate in individuals with darker skin pigmentations. The committee will also discuss factors that may affect pulse oximeter accuracy and performance, the available evidence about the accuracy of pulse oximeters, recommendations for patients and health care providers, and the amount, and type of data that should be provided by manufacturers to assess pulse oximeter accuracy and to guide other regulatory actions as needed."
