Pharmacy Technicians are trained Health Care 
professionals who work in both hospitals and retail 
pharmacies under the supervision of a pharmacist. 
Pharmacy Technicians prepare and fill prescriptions 
under the direction of a pharmacist, issue medications, 
and label and store supplies. 



The Pharmacy Technician curriculum stems from
the philosophy of the College and the standards of 
the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools 
(ABHES). The program of study provides educational 
preparation for the pharmacy technician occupation by 
combining classroom experiences with a supervised 
externship to validate competencies in pharmacy
technician knowledge and skills.



Graduates of this training program will have learned 
the basic aspects of pharmacy practice, including 
reading, filling and distributing prescriptions. They 
will understand the legal responsibilities of a pharmacy 
for record maintenance and the handling of various 
categories of drugs, and they will know basic pharmaceutical calculations, medications, common drug 
interactions and their side effects and pharmaceutical 
agents and their uses.
