Special Program Features:
Classroom lecture is combined with hands-on laboratory work as well as clinical experience to provide the student with a well rounded view of technicians duties. Laboratory experience includes computer applications, dispensing exercises, IV admixtures, and extemporaneous compounding. Three clinical rotations are conducted to provide the student with exposure to more than one facet of pharmacy dynamics. Program includes dosage calculations, law, pharmacology, and pharmacy practice. During the final semester, students intensely review for the certification exam. Finally they prepare for the workforce by composing resumes and polishing their job-seeking skills.
