Are you thinking of pursuing a career as a pharmacy technician? The College of Health Care Professions can help you take the next step toward a role as a certified pharmacy technician in a variety of settings, from hospitals to retail pharmacies.

Pharmacy technicians play a vital role directly supporting pharmacists by receiving and confirming prescription orders, assembling medicines, and informing and educating patients about their medications. A high level of organizational and client service skills is required to navigate the customer-driven front lines, as well as the behind-the-scenes operations of pharmacies.

With a pharmacy technician assistant certificate from CHCP, you will be eligible to take the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam and apply for a job as an entry-level pharmacy technician. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics*, job openings for pharmacy technicians are projected to grow 6% through 2032 – a faster than average pace. Overall, employment in healthcare occupations is projected to grow 12.6% from 2021 to 2031*, much faster than the average for all occupations.
