Remington College Nashville Campus begins enrollment for new pharmacy tech program

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Remington College Nashville Campus has started the process of enrolling students for its new Pharmacy Technician diploma program. The program incorporates a realistic pharmacy environment and a hands-on curriculum to help prepare students interested in pursuing entry-level jobs in the pharmacy field.



The program, which can be completed in as few as 13 months, includes such courses as pharmacy practice; law, ethics and therapeutic communication; dosage calculation; therapeutics, prescription entry and billing; sterile products and quality assurance; and extemporaneous compounding and inventory management.

"We are very pleased to be able to offer the Pharmacy Technician program to students in the Nashville area," said James Saulsbury, Remington College Nashville Campus president. "Pharmacy technicians will be in demand everywhere from commercial pharmacies to hospitals."



The demand for health services is expected to create a favorable job outlook for pharmacy technicians for several years, the school said, citing projected growth figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.



All graduates from the program will hold two certifications: the Sterile Products Certification and the Pharmacy Technician Certification.
