PHARMACY TECHNOLOGY (PH02)
The Pharmacy Technology program is a sequence of courses
that prepares students to function as pharmacy technicians
in positions requiring the mixing of prescribed medicines
and the compounding of preparations according to prescriptions
under the supervision of a pharmacist. Program graduates are
expected to be competent in the general areas of communications,
math, computer literacy, and interpersonal relations; additionally,
graduates are expected to perform basic occupational functions
including pouring, weighing, or measuring dosages; grinding,
heating, filtering, dissolving, and mixing liquid or soluble
drugs and chemicals; procuring, scoring and issuing pharmaceutical
materials and supplies, and maintaining files and records.
Graduates of the program receive a Pharmacy Technology diploma
which qualifies them for employment as pharmacy technicians.
NOTE: A student who has been convicted of a felony
or misdemeanor may be admitted to the Pharmacy Technology program,
but such a conviction may prohibit one from taking the National
Certification Examination. Permission to sit for the examination
rests solely with the National Certification Board for Pharmacy
Technicians.
