Pharmacy employers are at the forefront of the nation’s evolving healthcare system. As an active participant in the pharmacy community, PTCB collaborates with employers across practice settings to ensure their technicians are prepared to assume their roles and expand their responsibilities while continuing to advance medication safety.

Build Your Pharmacy Team With Confidence

PTCB’s credential programs play an important role in demonstrating an employer’s commitment to quality, medication safety, and a higher level of patient care. Our certification programs require ongoing continuing education, helping technicians keep up with the latest advances in the field.

• Inform them of the CPhT Program and process to become PTCB Certified
• Build PTCB credentials into the career ladder for pharmacy technicians at your establishment
• Incentivize earning PTCB Certifications and Certificates
• Pay the credential fees for your pharmacy technician employees using PTCB’s direct billing process
