A pharmacy technician works under the direct supervision of a pharmacist to provide health care to patients. Pharmacy Technicians must have a broad knowledge of pharmacy practice and must be skilled in the techniques required to order, stock, package, and prepare medications, but they do not need the advanced college education required of a licensed pharmacist. Pharmacy technicians may perform many of the same duties as a pharmacist; however, a pharmacist must check all of their work before medication can be dispensed to a patient. Pharmacy Technicians work in pharmacies where their main responsibility is filling prescriptions according to doctors' orders. This generally includes retrieving drugs in the correct dosage, form and strength, measuring the appropriate amount of drug and producing a prescription label. Depending upon the practice setting, a Pharmacy Technician is also involved in the admixture of drugs for intravenous use. Other duties could include: • checking inventories and ordering supplies • receiving and checking in supplies • assisting customers • keeping pharmacy work areas clean • complete insurance forms • preparation of “bingo cards” for nursing home patients       Please click on the course title to see the full course description.     Please provide us with the course title and number when e-mailing or calling 419-251-1799 with questions.  Note that classes provided through Gatlin list start dates in January but these do not mean that you need to start in January: they indicate open enrollment from January throughout the year.       Sort by:   Alphabetical by class name Alphabetical by location Alphabetical by instructor name Price: Low to High Price: High to Low Start Date End Date Course Number   Pharmacy Technician Certificate Program   Start 03/05/12  180001   17582  Monday, Thursday 9:30 am - 1:00 pm; 16 sessions starting March 5, 2012, ending April 26, 2012 16 sessions  Mon Thu  Tuition: $995.00  Location: Mercy College     Instructor: Hickman      Please read: Previous to enrollment, you need to contact ...More
