The Pharmacy Technology program prepares individuals to assist the pharmacist in duties that a technician can legally perform and to function within the boundaries prescribed by the pharmacist and the employment agency.
Upon successful completion of all courses in this CCP pathway, the student will be awarded a Certificate in Pharmacy Technology from Davidson-Davie. Once students complete the certificate they are encouraged to continue their coursework towards a diploma or associate degree. Students who enter the Diploma program will be required to complete a drug screen & background check, submit up-to-date immunizations, and CPR for the healthcare provider in order to be eligible for clinical rotations. Once students complete the diploma, they are eligible to take the national Pharmacy Tech certification exam.
