Learn More About PTCB

“Completing the Executive Fellowship with PTCB was a remarkable experience that gave me the opportunity to learn how organizations can best support the practice of pharmacy, across all professions and settings. As a former technician myself, working with the PTCB staff to support technician practice was both challenging and fulfilling. The fellowship also afforded me with numerous opportunities to explore non-traditional pharmacy careers, for which I am eternally grateful as it allowed me to connect with pharmacy leaders across the country. The PTCB Executive Fellowship truly is a unique opportunity and one that I would highly encourage any pharmacy graduate to pursue.”

“The Executive Fellowship taught me the significance of being an active member of the pharmacy workforce at a national level. PTCB provided me with an abundance of opportunities to contribute to the advancement of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in diverse settings within pharmacy, and engage in carer evolving conversations with pharmacy leaders. This unforgettable experience made a positive impact on my professional development as a pharmacist, especially as I continue to collaborate with healthcare decision makers in support of patient wellness."

“Completing post-graduate training at PTCB as the inaugural Executive Fellow was an amazing and life-changing experience. The opportunity allowed me to network and meet leaders, technicians, pharmacists, and students from across the industry who were working on unique initiatives such as pharmacy technician immunizations, technician product verification, and more! It is not often in life you get an opportunity that will set you up for an awesome kickstart to your career, so I would highly recommend this experience to anyone considering a non-traditional pathway.”
