ASHP’S NEW ONLINE LEARNING PORTAL for pharmacy technicians, PharmacyTechCE.org, is hosting a number of webinars as part of a monthly series. The subscription service, which is available to individual pharmacy technicians, pharmacies, and pharmacy departments, will offer over 20 hours of continuing pharmacy education (CPE) annually.
Educational categories on the site include automation, sterile compounding, medication and patient safety, pharmacy operations, pharmacy law, professional practice, and quality improvement.
“ASHP is making this investment in quality education and professional development for pharmacy technicians because we believe that well-trained pharmacy technicians can help us advance pharmacy practice and improve quality for all patients in all health care settings,” said ASHP CEO Paul W. Abramowitz, Pharm.D., Sc.D. (Hon.), FASHP.
Subscriptions to PharmacyTechCE.org are available both to employers investing in these critical members of the pharmacy team and to individual pharmacy technicians looking for technician-designated education. Most topics are available in podcast, CE monograph, and on-demand formats, providing the flexibility for different learning preferences.
