Pharmacy Technician

This program can provide learning experiences, coordinated with texts and lab activities, that enable graduates to obtain the basic competency needed for employment as Pharmacy Technicians in either a hospital or retail setting. A technician is an individual who, under the supervision of a pharmacist, assists in the performance of activities of the pharmacy department not requiring the professional judgment of a pharmacist.

In recent years, the Pharmacy Technician profession has become important to the health care field.* Pharmacy Technicians assist pharmacists with technical tasks, such as filling prescriptions and other dispensing duties, thus allowing the pharmacist more time for other responsibilities. Pharmacy Technicians work under close supervision of pharmacists. Their responsibilities include entering prescriptions into a computer, maintaining records and inventories of drugs and supplies, stocking, packaging and pricing medications.

Program availability and/or degree offerings subject to change.
