OBJECTIVE: The Pharmacy Technician program is designed to equip students with the skills to provide medication to patients and perform almost every function in the pharmacy. Students will receive instruction in handling prescriptions, answering telephones, pharmacy and medical office administration, taking refill requests, and operating health care information systems. The pharmacy technician graduate will be qualified for entry-level employment in retail pharmacies, various hospitals, and mail-order pharmacies.

The school strives at all times to:

1. Provide the hands-on training necessary to prepare students for entry-level positions.
2. Encourage a sense of commitment, responsibility, and self-motivation so that each student entering the work place will have the "personal strengths" to accompany their technical and problem solving skills.
3. Maintain an atmosphere of professionalism, thereby setting a standard and creating an environment for students to emulate.
4. Ensure that each student enjoys time and space within the classroom setting, so that each student will have an opportunity to perform and participate under the direct supervision of a qualified instructor.
