Technician program is a great choice if you love working with
people. Medical advances, combined with our aging population,

Technician is a huge responsibility, but it can be very
rewarding as well.

designed to provide students with the technical knowledge and
practical skills necessary for an entry-level technician
position in a retail, hospital or home health pharmacy. You'll
