Pharmacy Technician

Program Description:
To prepare individuals to work under the supervision of registered pharmacists in providing a high level of modern pharmaceutical care in hospitals, clinics, extended care facilities, nursing homes and other health care settings.

Entry Level Salary:
$10 to $15 per hour

Local Employment Outlook:

The employment of pharmacy technicians is expected to grow an average of 27% through the year 2005. The increasing patient care emphasis of pharmacist’s responsibilities, the increasing pharmacy workload due to our aging population, and the increasing need to control health care costs, make the outlook for well-trained pharmacy technicians very good. Currently, pharmacy technicians are assuming more responsibility for routine tasks, previously performed by pharmacists, and will be responsible for mastering new pharmacy technology, as it becomes available.
