Denver, CO, January 22, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Baxa Corporation has published the 2007 dates for training at its STAR (Skills Training, Academics and Resources) Center. The STAR Center, a premier facility designed for cleanroom and pharmacy practice demonstration, is located at the company’s world headquarters south of Denver, Colorado. Baxa Corporation built the STAR Center to provide professional education on pharmacy practice, cleanroom principles and compliance to regulatory requirements.
The initial class in the STAR Center, Compliance Tools and Aseptic Certification for USP 797, debuted in September 2006, with sessions repeated in October and November. 2007 Program Dates for the USP 797 course will be: 23 – 25 January; 20 – 22 March; 22 – 24 May; 24 – 26 July; 18 – 20 September and 23 – 25 October.
