POST SECONDARY PHARMACY TECHNICIAN DIPLOMA
In modern pharmacy practice, the pharmacy technician’s role is essential to meeting the ever-increasing demands for health care efficiency and improved patient experience. Today, pharmacy technicians are entrusted with assisting in preparing medications, collecting medical histories, and educating patients – all of which allow the pharmacist more time to focus on patient care.
For more general program information, please refer to the attached Frequently Asked Questions sheet, schedule an appointment with a Student Recruitment Coordinator to tour the Pharmacy Technician facilities, or attend the MITT Open House held each year in February.
