    This hospital pharmacy technician training program combines didactic and practical learning. It successfully prepares technicians for employment within the hospital and other health-related fields.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacy Technician Training
    • On-the-Job Education
    • Healthcare Workforce Development

    Background:

    • Hospital pharmacy technicians play a crucial role in healthcare.
    • Effective training programs are essential for developing skilled pharmacy technicians.
    • Existing training models may not adequately prepare technicians for diverse roles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a comprehensive nine-month on-the-job training program for hospital pharmacy technicians.
    • To evaluate the program's effectiveness in producing employable pharmacy technicians.
    • To outline the structure and candidate sourcing for the training initiative.

    Main Methods:

    • A nine-month training curriculum divided into three months of didactic instruction and six months of practical, hands-on experience.

  • Recruitment of candidates through state-sponsored public assistance and manpower training programs.
  • Establishment of a minimum cohort size of six participants to ensure program continuity and completion.

    • Main Results:

    • Forty hospital pharmacy technicians have completed the program over the past six years.
    • Eight program graduates are currently employed within the hospital pharmacy.
    • Thirteen graduates are employed in other healthcare institutions or related occupations.

    Conclusions:

    • The described on-the-job training program is effective in producing qualified hospital pharmacy technicians.
    • The program contributes to the healthcare workforce by supplying skilled technicians to both the hospital and external organizations.
    • The training model demonstrates a successful pathway for individuals from public assistance and manpower programs into pharmacy technician roles.
