The Pharmacy Technician program at our Lebanon Center is designed to prepare students to assist and support licensed pharmacists in providing health care and medications to patients.
Get the skills you need to assist and support licensed pharmacists. Pharmacy technicians work in hospital, retail, home health care, nursing home, clinic, nuclear medicine, and mail order prescription pharmacies
Occupational Objectives: Pharmacy technicians have been employed with medical insurance, medical computer software, drug manufacturing, drug wholesale, and food processing companies, and as instructors in pharmacy technician training programs. Currently, hospitals, home health care, and retail pharmacies hire the majority of technicians.
Students are required to have a background check from the Dept. of State Police by the completion of the first semester.
By partnering with PioneerRx Pharmacy Software, our program allows students to learn in a real-world environment using the most installed software for independent pharmacies. Students enhance their clinical and functional skills by training in a pharmacy system that is innovative, robust, and feature-rich.
