We’re often asked, “How can I get involved at PTCB?” The answer? Volunteer!

Experienced pharmacy technicians and pharmacists lend their expertise to PTCB staff in a variety of activities, including: exam content development; policy creation; and various other projects. PTCB seeks volunteers who represent a wide range of practice settings, demographics, and experiences. We are committed to fostering an effective, respectful, and professional environment for all our staff and volunteers in support of PTCB’s mission to advance patient safety.

In addition to supporting PTCB’s mission and contributing to the field of pharmacy, volunteers may benefit from networking opportunities, professional development, and/or earning continuing education (CE) credit.
