Pharmacy Technician WEEK? What Do You Think?
// June 22nd, 2009 // 5 Comments » // Pharmacy General
The National Pharmacy Technician Association (NPTA) is considering sponsoring the first-ever “Pharmacy Technician Week” in October 2009. What do you think?
In the past, pharmacy technicians have been recognized on National Pharmacy Technician Day (the 3rd Tuesday of each October), however this originated as a part of National Pharmacy Week. Since the APhA launched October as American Pharmacy Month a few years ago, we are considering making the shift to recognize technicians for an entire week. This is the approach that ASHP takes with Health-System Pharmacy Week.
Each day of the week could be designated to recognize pharmacy technicians working in various practice settings, ie Retail Pharmacy Technician Day, Health-System Pharmacy Technician Day, Pharmacy Technician Educators Day, etc.
We want your thoughts, feedback & suggestions.
