Subject: What ASHP and APHA should have on their minds in 2006

pharmacyonesource.com

1. Recognition of Current Pharmacy Technicians of America

2. Pay Increases for Hospital and other Pharmacy Technicians of

America

3. Standardization of Education of Pharmacy Technicians of America

4. Standardization of the Training of Pharmacy Technicans of America

5. Nationwide Standardized Qualifications of Pharmacy Technicians

of America

6. Understanding that anyone can study for and pass the PTCB exam,

but it does not make them a technician! ONLY Standardized EDUCATION

and TRAINING and then testing and certification can make a good

technician by giving them the foundation that they need to learn

more on the job. Reading and studying a book or other online

literature is NOT going to make a technican.
