Course content, delivered through classroom lecture and hands-on labs includes: pharmacy medical terminology; the history of pharmacy; pharmacy practice in multiple environments; pharmacy calculations and measurements; reading and interpreting prescriptions; defining drugs by generic and brand names; dispensing of prescriptions; and inventory control.

In addition, students who complete the course may choose to sit for the Pharmacy Technician Associate (PTAC) exam through the National Workforce Career Association (NWCA).
This program also includes an 80-hour clinical externship opportunity at a local health care service provider for students who qualify. Students will be required to provide immunization records, PPD (TB) test results, a negative nine-panel drug screen, and background check at their own cost (approximately $300 for externship).
