Gatlin pharmacy tech students offered internships at CVS

DALLAS As part of a new agreement with Gatlin Education Services, CVS will offer its externship program to students in several CVS districts who are taking Gatlin’s pharmacy technician online career training program.

Gatlin’s online learning program teaches the necessary skills to gain employment as a pharmacy technician in a hospital or retail setting. The course aims to provide high school graduates and individuals seeking new careers the skills and knowledge that will enable them to qualify for entry-level positions in pharmacies as well as prepare for the mandated national certification.

Gatlin and CVS initially expect to enroll about a dozen students in the internship program every month, with that number doubling in a year’s time.
