Course Description:

'' The triOS College Pharmacy Technician Diploma Program provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to start a rewarding career as a Pharmacy Technician.

The Pharmacy Technician is responsible for receiving prescriptions, drug preparation, clerical and computer duties, inventory management and customer service in the dispensary. Pharmacy Technicians must at all times work directly under the supervision and guidance of the Pharmacist. The role is meant to assist the Pharmacist in the dispensing process of the product to allow the Pharmacist to have more time to provide pharmaceutical care.

The Pharmacy Technician Program prepares students for employment opportunities in retail, hospital and other healthcare settings. The triOS Pharmacy Technician Program has significant benefits over programs offered at Community Colleges.

The triOS program:
�is 1 year in duration rather than 2 years so you can get into the workforce quicker;
�is 5 hours per day of instruction, enabling you to work part-time while you study;
�offers year-round starting points so you don’t have to wait until September or
January to join a program.

Topics of this program include: Microsoft Office Applications (Microsoft Word Intermediate, Microsoft Excel Intermediate, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft PowerPoint, Business Communications); Human Anatomy and Physiology; Medical Terminology; Pharmacology; Pharmacy Law and Ethics; Pharmaceutical Mathematics; Drug Preparation and Dosage; Pharmacy Practice; Hospital Pharmacy; Pharmacy Software; Pharmacy Technician Certification Preparation; First Aid and CPR; Internship and Career Management.

Career Opportunities

As a Pharmacy Technician, you’ll work as part of a health care team to ensure that consumers receive the best possible pharmaceutical care. Graduates of the triOS Pharmacy Technician program may work for community pharmacies, home healthcare divisions/companies, hospital pharmacies, pharmaceutical distribution wholesalers, pharmacy application software vendors, pharmacy benefits administration and consulting firms, mail-order and Internet pharmacies clinics and the Federal Government.

Employment of Pharmacy Technicians is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2012 due to the increased pharmaceutical needs of a larger and older population, and to the greater use of medication. The increased number of middle-aged and elderly people (who, on average, use more prescription drugs than do younger people) will spur demand for technicians in all practice settings. With advances in science, more medications are becoming available to treat more conditions. Cost-conscious insurers, pharmacies and health systems will continue to emphasize the role of technicians. As a result, Pharmacy Technicians will assume responsibility for more routine tasks previously performed by pharmacists. Pharmacy Technicians also will need to learn and master new pharmacy technology as it surfaces. For example, robotic machines are used to dispense medicine into containers; technicians must oversee the machines, stock the bins, and label the containers. Thus, while automation is increasingly incorporated into the job, it will not necessarily reduce the need for technicians.
