This department is in the division of Science.
Under the supervision of a Pharmacist, students learn to fill prescriptions, establish
and maintain patient profiles, prepare insurance claim forms, take inventory, and
stock medications. A background check may be required for clinical experience. The
California Board of Pharmacy may deny the Pharmacy Technician license based on convictions
substantially related to Pharmacy Technician practice.
Students working for certificates must have a basic knowledge of arithmetic, reading, and writing in order to learn and work in the occupations they select. Students may also earn an Associate of Science Degree in Pharmacy Technology.
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. Read what current pharmacy leaders are saying about PioneerRx at Pharmacy Software Reviews.
