Our Pharmacy Program
In our Pharmacy Program we prepare students on the skills they will need to launch a career as a Pharmacy Technician by providing the best education possible. Among other things students will learn dosage calculations, I.V. flow rates, drug compounding, dose conversions, dispensing of prescriptions, and inventory control.
Our 8-month program features a flexible schedule and campus-based training. The Pharmacy Technician Diploma Program requires 160 hours of mandatory externship hours. The program ultimately prepares students with the skills they need to launch a career as a Pharmacy Technician by enhancing the learning experience through hands-on simulations of functions and work process found in pharmacies today.
Among other subjects, students will learn dosage calculations, I.V. flow rates, drug compounding, dose conversions, dispensing of prescriptions, and inventory control. Students will have a chance to practice in our mock pharmacy lab before completing the mandatory 160 externship hours.
