The development of a Continuing Competence Program for pharmacy technicians is underway and targeted to roll-out January 2016.
In June, council approved a framework for the competence program based on the recommendations from a working group of pharmacy technicians and the competence committee. The program is modelled after that for pharmacists, with an emphasis on professional development and continuous improvement.
ACP will be introducing and presenting on the Continuing Competence Program for pharmacy technicians at the upcoming Pharmacy Technician Society of Alberta’s (PTSA) Technician Conference. Join us Saturday, September 19, 2015, between 8:00 a.m. –8:45 a.m. (during breakfast and registration) to learn more about the program and get a preview of what you can expect in 2016. This info session is available to conference participants.
