Updates from the Pharmacy Technician Accreditation Commission

The Pharmacy Technician Accreditation Commission (PTAC) is the body that ensures quality of pharmacy technician education and training within the Accreditation Services Office at ASHP under the auspices of both the ASHP and ACPE Board of Directors. The commission meets twice a year to discuss programs for accreditation and reaccreditation, as well as revises standards, regulations, develops training tools, and facilitates up-to-date practices for pharmacy technician education and training. This session will provide an update on what was discussed during the year at both of the PTAC meetings and what endeavors the group is currently undertaking to enhance the pharmacy technician profession.
