Through a consortium effort with Lakeshore Technical College, the Pharmacy Technician program is offered through the use of distance education via television as well as on-site classes. Pharmacy Technicians assist pharmacists in hospital and community pharmacies. During this program, students will learn to package and label drugs for prescription dispensing, prepare and deliver unit dose drugs to nursing services of hospitals or nursing homes, and prepare parenteral mixtures under aseptic and sterile conditions. Skills necessary to receive and inventory drug shipments, maintain records and patient profiles and compound solutions, ointments, lotions, suppositories, and other medications are also studied.
