CEPHT800 — Pharmacy Technician
The Pharmacy Technician Certificate provides pharmacy technician training with an application to community practice. The program teaches students proper pharmacy operations under the supervision of registered pharmacists. The curriculum combines classroom, online, and experiential learning with duties carried out by pharmacy technicians in preparing drugs, filling prescriptions, pricing, patient profiles, drug calculations, controlled substances, and other pharmacy-related activities. Learning experiences for students in the Pharmacy Technician Certificate Program are provided online, in classrooms, and in a simulated non-dispensing pharmacy on the Airport Campus in the Health Sciences Building. Required clinical experiences (externships/internships) are arranged through affiliations with local pharmacies.
