PTCB Mission Statement:
The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) develops,
maintains, promotes and administers a high-quality certification
and recertification program for pharmacy technicians. The
PTCB provides first-rate programs and services that offer
pharmacy technicians an opportunity to demonstrate that they
have mastered knowledge and skills across practice settings.
Through the PTCB program, pharmacy technicians are able to
work more effectively with pharmacists to offer better patient
care and service.
PTCB Vision and Goal:
The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) supports
the national credentialing of pharmacy technicians across
practice settings. By demonstrating mastery of knowledge and
skills through the PTCB certification, pharmacy technicians
are able to work more effectively with pharmacists.
The positive interaction of
the pharmacist/pharmacy technician team is critical to the
delivery of pharmaceutical care in today's health-care environment;
the pharmacy employer, pharmacist, pharmacy technician and
patient all benefit from this special relationship. The better
qualified the pharmacy technician, the higher the quality
of care this team may bring to the patient, and the greater
the value they bring to the pharmacy. The PTCB believes that
Certified Pharmacy Technicians (CPhTs) are the best support
for pharmacists by providing assistance with functions that
ensure safe, accurate and efficient medication use but do
not require the judgment of a licensed pharmacist.
The PTCB national program establishes the value of the certification
process for the pharmacy technicians, employers, pharmacists
and patients. The PTCB certification provides solutions to
the challenges of pharmacy practice across practice settings.
In pursuing its goals, the PTCB will:
1. Provide high standards for the certification of pharmacy
