Earning this certificate adds to the confidence level of technicians and their supervising pharmacists. Supervisors have certainty that their technicians possess the required knowledge and abilities for this role if they have completed the PTCB Certificate Program.
The scope of pharmacy technician responsibilities continues to expand. This provides great opportunities for technicians to function at a higher level of practice. Earning additional pharmacy technician credentials, such as the Medication History Assessment-Based Certificate, is a way for me to advance professionally and build my career. The advanced level of knowledge demonstrated in specific areas with the certificates serves to enhance our overall team’s focus on patient safety. Advanced technician credentials help remove barriers that exist to technician advancement in pharmacy practice by assessing our knowledge and experience, plus we gain recognition from our peers.
