About pharmacy technician continuing education help please?

Question

I am a pharmacy technician for 2 years and a half and I heared every 2 years I need to do a 20 credtits continuing education. But I am not sure where to go and how to do it?

Answer 1

I go for free CE credits at PTCB.org.  I also go to:

Rx School (click for the FREE ones):

If you work for a hospital, usually the lead pharmacy technician will have postings of any CE classes (and depending on the hospital they will pay for it).  Also check with your state's Board of Phamacy for any upcoming CE classes in your area (again, some employers will pay for the CE).    I'm not sure about the retail sector.    I personally just do the online stuff.  Those classes you attend personally are VERY boring, but you get more credits.  

Once you take a class, you will be able to print a certificate of completion.  Always print a copy of this certificate.  Keep all copies of each CE class you take in case you are audited.
