Pharmacy Technology

The Pharmacy Technology program prepares students to work as pharmacy technicians. These allied health professionals assist and support licensed pharmacists in providing the following to customers:

  • Prescription medications
  • Over-the-counter drugs
  • Medical equipment and supplies
  • Pharmaceutical care services
  • Other health care products and services
Pharmacy Technology Bridge Program

The Pharmacy Technology curriculum is composed of classroom, laboratory and clinical components. Classroom instruction is coordinated with laboratory activities and clinical experiences to provide a broad knowledge of the following:

  • Prescription medications
  • Pharmacology
  • Medication therapy
  • Drug interactions
  • Anatomy and physiology
  • Drug delivery systems
  • Pharmacy administration
  • Clinical pharmacy services

Simulated laboratory activities and clinical experiences allow students to develop and enhance skills to perform pharmacy-related functions, operate automated and robotic pharmacy equipment and provide pharmacy services. Clinical practice takes place in hospital, community and specialty pharmacies.

Students must be at least 18 years old at the start of the second semester of Pharmacy Technology classes.

Pharmacy Technology program checklist

Follow these steps to get started:

  • Apply to Wake Tech
  • Submit official high school, equivalency and college transcripts electronically to [email protected]
  • Apply for financial aid and veterans benefits
  • Once admitted, follow the steps to enroll on the New Student Checklist

Once all minimum admission requirements are met, complete a Pharmacy Technology program application to begin the program.

Once admitted, students are required to complete all clinical site requirements. Information obtained from required criminal background checks and drug screenings could jeopardize a student's ability to participate in clinical experiences. That, in turn, would prevent the student from completing the program and be certified, registered and employed as a pharmacy technician. Any student who has not met all requirements will not be allowed to attend clinical courses and cannot advance in the program.
