Pharmacy Technician Named One of 15 Best Jobs
Forbes Magazine
recently featured a story on “The 15 Best Jobs
for Young People.” Editors considered pay, job growth potential,
and annual job openings before choosing which jobs to feature.
Pharmacy tech came in at #7 on this list! With growth potential of
30.6% and 18,200 annual openings in the field, pharmacy techs can
be assured that they have chosen a great career. (December 2015)
Since 1972, Santa Ana College (SAC) has offered a training program for
pharmacy technicians planning to work in outpatient, inpatient, and home health care pharmacy. In 1984, SAC became the first community college in the United States to be accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). SAC currently has full-cycle (six year) accreditation by ASHP and is the only program ever to receive accreditation with commendation!
Santa Ana College also offers courses which will prepare you for
admission to a school of pharmacy. These general education courses are not taught within the Pharmacy Technology Department.
