Pharmacy Technology

About

The mission of the Pharmacy Technology Program is to train students for employment in retail and wholesale pharmacies, and home health care and long-term care facilities. They will perform as pharmacy technicians or assistants under the direct supervision of the pharmacist. Students will learn to become skilled in medications, prescrip­tion preparation, reconstitution and IV preparation.

Tennessee College of Applied Technology has partnered with the top pharmacy software, PioneerRx. Our students will experience a more hands-on learning experience as PioneerRx simulates the processes and workflow of today’s most innovative pharmacies.
