Resolution No. 106-7-10
Title: Continued Efforts to Standardize Pharmacy Technician Education and Training Programs
Action: Pass

Whereas, new pharmacy technician education and training programs are being established in community colleges and trade schools across the country; and

Whereas, no nationally recognized, uniform standards are currently in place in each state to guide the quality and appropriateness of the course curriculum of such programs; and

Whereas, state boards of pharmacy have a responsibility to oversee the training and practice of pharmacy technicians in the interest of the public health and safety;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that NABP continue to encourage states to adopt uniform standards for pharmacy technician education and training programs.
