Under the supervision of licensed pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians perform a wide range of tasks as they assist in filling prescriptions and help ensure the health and safety of customers and patients.

Certification Preparation and More

The Pharmacy Technology Training Course, now offered through our Continuing Education department, is designed to provide instruction in the technical procedures for preparing and dispensing drugs in the hospital and retail settings under supervision of a registered pharmacist. Topics include drug packaging and labeling, out-patient dispensing, hospital dispensing procedures, controlled substance procedures, inventory control, and non-sterile compounding. Upon completion, students should be able to perform basic supervised dispensing techniques in a variety of pharmacy settings and be ready to take the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam. Earning this credential will help you find a position quickly.
