In February, the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) announced upcoming changes to their certification program. In an effort to elevate the standards and training of pharmacy technicians, a variety of changes have been proposed, including mandatory drug and background checks, accredited education requirements, and what is accepted for Continuing Education (CE).
The PTCB is accepting comments and feedback regarding the proposed changes through Friday, May 31st, 2013. Visit Survey Monkey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PTCBProgramChanges to submit your thoughts and best practices.
