Pharmacy Technicians assist and support licensed pharmacists in providing health care and medications to patients. The pharmacy technician has broad knowledge and training in pharmacy, however does not require the advanced college education required of a licensed pharmacist. Pharmacy technicians perform the practical duties, allowing the pharmacist to focus on patient education, pharmaceutical care and medication management.
Admission to the college does not assure admission to the pharmacy technician program. All students interested in the pharmacy technician program who do not have previous college courses must complete the PPCC placement exams prior to being advised. Admission to the pharmacy technician program is accomplished through an application and selection process. Students can pick up a Pharmacy Technician Program Admission Application at the HENPS Division office at either the Centennial or Rampart Range Campus. NO APPLICATION WILL BE REVIEWED THAT IS NOT FULLY COMPLETED. Once completed, please submit to the Pharmacy Technician Program Coordinator and make an appointment to review necessary information at that time.
