PTEC Position Statement
The position of the Pharmacy Technician Educators Council is that all pharmacy technicians must complete a formal educational training program. This program must include:
- A minimum 600 hours of didactic, laboratory and experiential training.
- Experiential training hours must include community and institutional practice settings,
- Training hours must be adequate to ensure competency.
In addition, the Joint Commission of Pharmacy Practitioners (JCPP) has created a "vision" of how pharmacy should be practiced in 2015. Commonly referred to as the 2015 Vision, this statement and the accompanying action plan are shaping the activities of many national pharmacy professional groups.
