PTCB

PTCB, or the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board, is an organization that certifies pharmacy technicians—professionals who assist pharmacists in preparing and distributing medications. Earning a PTCB certification demonstrates that a technician has met specific education and knowledge standards, ensuring they are qualified to support safe and effective medication management. Certification involves passing an exam that covers topics like pharmacy law, medication safety, and drug calculations. Holding this credential helps pharmacy technicians advance their careers, reassures employers of their competence, and ultimately contributes to maintaining high standards of patient care in pharmacy practice.
