There's a lot to take in here.  You'll need to read the entire article to unpack the findings.

According to the article:

"Spoiler alert: The report, Long-Term Health Outcomes in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Systematic Review of Comparative Studies Evaluating Positive Airway Pressure and the Validity of Breathing Measures as Surrogate Outcomes, does not answer the main clinical question it asks. Rather, for each outcome—cardiovascular disease, driving accidents, diabetes, mental health, cognitive function, quality of life, and many others—it details why the evidence is inadequate, over and over again."

Pharmacy Designated Representative Training Requirements

If you're new to the pharmacy world of the Designated Representative, maybe this quick introduction will help. I'm going to explain, using the California (CA) State Board of Pharmacy as the example.

According to the CA Designated Representative application form:

A designated representative is an individual who performs clerical, inventory control, housekeeping, delivery, maintenance, or similar functions related to the distribution or dispensing of dangerous drugs or dangerous devices. To work as a designated representative, you must possess and keep a current certificate as a designated representative.

There are quite a number of requirements that have to be met in order to qualify, including the following training requirements listed on the application form:

Complete a training program that, at a minimum, addresses each of the following subjects:
(A) Knowledge and understanding of California and federal law relating to the distribution of dangerous drugs and dangerous devices.
(B) Knowledge and understanding of California and federal law relating to the distribution of controlled substances.
(C) Knowledge and understanding of quality control systems.
(D) Knowledge and understanding of the United States Pharmacopoeia standards relating to the safe storage and handling of drugs.
(E) Knowledge and understanding of prescription terminology, abbreviations, dosages and format.

The trick then becomes finding a way to fulfill the training program requirement. I've posted links to training and certification service providers below.
