This grant-funded program will provide hands-on training for an entry-level position as a pharmacy technician.
This Pharmacy Technician Apprenticeship program provides classroom and hands-on training while earning a salary from a Rowan College at Burlington County employer partner.
Pharmacy Technicians are critical healthcare team members and are essential to providing patients with safe and effective medical therapy. A Pharmacy Technician works under a licensed pharmacist to process prescriptions, dispense medications, and provide information to customers.
Students will learn foundations for pharmacy practice as related to medical law and ethics, basic pharmacology, reading prescriptions, preparing medications in in-patient care facilities, and direct order pharmacies. Students practice receiving incoming prescriptions, transcribing physicians’ orders, calculating doses, preparing IVs, packaging medications, filling patients’ cassettes, labeling, inventory management, register functions, and customer service through lecture and clinical practices.
Following successful course completion, the student will be eligible to sit for the Pharmacy Technician Certification Examination (PTCE) sponsored by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB).
