TEMECULA, Calif. – Nufactor, Inc., a subsidiary of FFF Enterprises, Inc. is pleased to be recognized as the first pharmacy to achieve Ig Certified Pharmacist (IgCP®) credentialing for all of their California pharmacists.

It is the only nationally recognized certification for Ig pharmacists.
A Culture of Revolutionary Improvements
Nufactor’s decision to work towards achieving the first IgCP® credentialing for registered and licensed pharmacistsis a demonstration of their ongoing commitment to Ig excellence. “I am extremely proud of our team for their achievement. Our support in this endeavor was not only for the improvement of standardizing pharmacy practices within our organization, but also for aligning with nationally recognized standards as set forth by the Immunoglobulin National Society (IgNS). Through this accomplishment, we are fulfilling our mission of making a difference in our patients’ lives, by providing them with highly skilled pharmacy support and quality care every time. Our plans included IgCP credentialing for our all pharmacists, but unfortunately the COVID-19 pandemic has forestalled our exam in North Carolina. We will have all North Carolina staff test as soon as the exam is available again.” said Leslie Vaughan, RPh, Chief Operations Officer.
