NINE STUDENTS GRADUATE FROM BLINN PHARMACY TECHNICIAN PROGRAM
Graduates are eligible to take national certification exam
Nine Blinn College District students recently completed the Pharmacy Technician Program and are prepared to seek national licensure.
Pharmacy technicians measure, mix, count out, label, and record medication dosages according to prescription orders. They work closely with pharmacists to answer patient questions and correctly identify and manage medication inventory.
Pharmacy technicians are employed in hospitals, pharmaceutical laboratories, mail-order pharmacies, and other pharmacy settings.
The new graduates are Abigail Cervantes (North Zulch), Dannicka Diserens (North Zulch), Luis Garcia (North Zulch), Tessah Haggard (North Zulch), Paige McWilliams-Leggett (Bedias), Zoraida Medina (North Zulch), Madison Murphy (North Zulch), and Faith Reagan (Madisonville).
Blinn is certified by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board and graduates are eligible to take the National PTCB Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam. After they pass the national exam, students can obtain their state licensure from the Texas State Board of Pharmacy.
The next offering of Blinn’s Pharmacy Technician Program begins Aug. 30. Students must participate in a mandatory online healthcare information session before registering.
