About Pharmacy Technician Student Program

The Pharmacy Technician Student shall gain experience in all aspects of their Pharmacy Technician career through a dedicated, structured Pharmacy Technician Training Program.  The goal of this Program is to prepare the student for successfully obtaining the Michigan Pharmacy Technician License and PTCB Certification and to make graduating students eligible for employment with Corewell Health Pharmacies.

The Corewell Health Pharmacy Technician Training Program Student Program consists of a 10-week combination of theory and practice and is aimed at having the candidate learn the role of Pharmacy Technician.  The structure of the program entails 20 hours per week Didactic/Simulation Training and 20 Hours per Week Hands-On Experiential Rotations for a total of 400 Hours of Pharmacy Technician Training.

The Corewell Health Pharmacy Technician Training Program supports student education by delivering instruction from accredited educational content, pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians who specialize in each subject within clinical and operational areas.  This structure allows students to receive the most advanced, applicable information possible through the use of the following:

Didactic Material
Didactic materials will be delivered via computerized learning and lecture style format.

Simulations
Simulated rotations imitate the real-world processes and systems described during the didactic portion of the program.  Simulation allows students to develop skills and practice processes described in lectures, so when they are asked to perform these tasks during their externship experience, they will understand their role in the system and how to handle the task at hand.

Experiential Rotations
Experiential rotations are real world opportunities for students to work alongside health care professionals and interact with patients to apply their classroom and simulation training.  For each rotation the student will report to a site coordinator and review the instructions and expectations for the rotation.  Experiential hours will be recorded using the programs digital platform.
