Pharmacy Assistant/Technician

As a result of pharmacists taking a more active role in drug therapy and the counselling of their patients, the Pharmacy Assistant/Technician is becoming an increasingly essential position. Students will be trained in pharmacology, dispensing (community & hospital), inventory, billing and administration, as well as customer service skills. They will also receive First Aid and CPR training and certification. Current trends indicate that successful graduates of this program will be in demand.

A Canadian Journal of Hospital Pharmacy study states, “86 per cent of all graduates of Pharmacy Assistant/Technician programs found work in their field.”

Upon successful completion of this program students will receive the following:

Pharmacy Assistant/Technician Diploma
Standard First Aid Certificate and CPR “C” Certificate
