Pharmacy Tech



A critical member of the healthcare system is a pharmacy technician, and at Salt Lake Community College a student can obtain their certification in as little as three semesters. Pharmacy techs not only get to interact with the patient, but they are also essential in providing the patients with the correct medication that will be utilized for their healing journey.

SLCC's pharmacy tech certificate program is a comprehensive, hands-on program where students get the opportunity to not only gain knowledge in the classroom but also learn in the real world. The pharmacy program requires students to obtain an externship at a licensed pharmacy where they will learn immeasurable skills.

Upon graduation, students will be qualified to work at a pharmacy and prepared to take the national certification exam. SLCC graduate pharmacy technicians work closely with pharmacists to ensure that the patient's health is at the forefront. The collaboration between the healthcare professionals, from the setting and assisting the pharmacists in preparing and dispensing patients' medication, is immeasurable as that is a step closer to patients healing through medication therapy.

Students interested in enrolling in the pharmacy technician program at SLCC are encouraged to visit the website. Financial aid is available.
