Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 hello my name is Barbara and I have been posting for awhile I was just wondering if anyone that has attended a training program for Pharmacy Technicians if you all were pinned. We at my school have every month what is called a pinning it is where all allied health students have completed there coursework and are venturing out into the world to do there externships and I noticed today that the MA's Medical Assistants have a creed that they recite upon being pinned. I was wondering if anyone here knows of one we could use for the Pharmacy Technicians. This month was only the second pinning for the Pharmacy tech students and they have not coem up with a Creed for us so I was just putting this out there to see if any other training programs have one or if they even do the pinning I was talking about any feedback will be greatly appreciated. I am going into my 3rd month of training I will be in Pharmacy Operations next month I am looking forward to it because the last 2 months has been all lectures we will be doing more hands on stuff next month thanks again Barbara I am going into my 3rd month of training I will be in Pharmacy Operations next month I am looking forward to it because the last 2 months has been all lectures we will be doing more hands on stuff next month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Hi Barbara- I'm not aware of a " universally accepted " oath or creed for pharmacy technicians. I like the pharmacist's oath--though I doubt they would ever consider " sharing " it with the techs. I've seen several 'code of ethics' for techs---the American Assos. of Pharmacy Techs is pretty good. (there's a copy of it on the 13th or 14th page of the White Paper article located under the Links section) FYI tidbit: The pharmacist's oath which was approved by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) in 1983, is based upon the " Oath and Prayer of Maimonides " . Moses Maimonides was a jewish philosopher and physician of the middle ages. Here's a cut and paste of the oath. Oath of a Pharmacist At this time, I vow to devote my professional life to the service of all humankind through the profession of pharmacy. I will consider the welfare of humanity and relief of human suffering my primary concerns. I will apply my knowledge, experience and skills to the best of my ability in serving the public and other health professionals. I will keep abreast of developments and maintain professional competency in my profession of pharmacy. I will obey the laws governing the practice of pharmacy and will support enforcement of such laws. I will maintain the highest principles of moral and ethical conduct. I will address the challenges and opportunities in the profession of pharmacy and will participate in the change process. I take these vows voluntarily with the full realization of the responsibility with which I am entrusted by the public Sincerely, Dora Group Mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
