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.

Links broke in the original post.

Florida Certified Designated Representative Candidate Information Booklet (CDR CIB)

CAUTION - there are old versions of the candidate information booklet (CIB) that can be found on the internet. Be sure you're referencing the most current version. Here's how to find it.

Go to the home page of the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation:
http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/

In the search box, enter "candidate information booklets."  Choose English. Then click "DDC – Certified Designated Representative."

- - -  original post follows below  - - -

Here's the latest version of the CIB:

Beware, there are older versions out there.

If you're preparing to take the Florida CDR Exam (Certified Designated Representative), make sure you're referencing the latest and most current version of the CIB (candidate information booklet).

While simply Googling, I ran across three different versions of the CIB.  One was the outdated October 2010 version, another was dated March 2011.

Bottomline, be sure you find and reference the most current version of the CIB.
