<p>In modern pharmacy practice, the pharmacy technician’s role is essential to meeting the ever-increasing demands for health care efficiency and improved patient experience. Today, pharmacy technicians are entrusted with assisting in preparing medications, collecting medical histories, and educating patients – all of which allow the pharmacist more time to focus on patient care.</p><p>Since 1987, the MITT Pharmacy Technician Program has prepared students to work collaboratively and competently with pharmacists and other healthcare professionals in a variety of pharmacy practice settings.</p><p>The diploma program curriculum – designed by specialized pharmacy experts to reflect the current scope of practice, as well as emerging health care trends and technologies – focuses on the core competencies of everyday pharmacy technician practice. It also aligns with the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs (CCAPP) Accreditation Standards for Canadian Pharmacy Technician Programs. Through innovative curriculum and high-impact simulated learning experiences, students are prepared for career success in today’s ever-changing pharmacy environment.</p><h3>PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES</h3><p>Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will be able to:</p><ul><li>Identify and implement sector-specific knowledge to day-to-day medication preparation and dispensing;</li><li>Apply knowledge and research-based information while collaborating in the provision of safe, effective, and high-quality patient care;</li><li>Communicate effectively with key stakeholders;</li><li>Act responsibly and professionally, and demonstrate a commitment to ongoing professional development;</li><li>Collaborate with pharmacists and members of intra- and interprofessional health teams in the promotion of a healthier workplace, community, and environment; and</li><li>Demonstrate the knowledge and skills needed to pursue registration with the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) and listing with the College of Pharmacists of Manitoba (CPhM) as a pharmacy technician.</li></ul><h3>SKILLS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF IDEAL CANDIDATES</h3><ul><li>Strong problem-solving skills</li><li>Technologically adaptable</li><li>Able to follow instructions, retain information, and prioritize tasks</li><li>Accountable</li><li>Objective and factual</li><li>Active listening skills, non-judgmental and empathetic</li><li>Detail-oriented and organized</li><li>Strong verbal and written communication skills</li></ul><p>Strong math skills are an absolute must for pharmacy technicians, which is why this program emphasizes a zero tolerance for math errors. An essential part of the job involves performing calculations to determine dosages and quantities to prepare and dispense medications. The following&nbsp;<a href="https://mitt.ca/Content/Images/uploaded/sample_calculations_questions_for_website_diploma.pdf">sample questions</a>&nbsp;reflect the types of calculations associated with these tasks.</p><h3>PROGRAM COMPLETION</h3><p>The Pharmacy Technician Diploma Program requirements must be completed within four years of admission to the program to be eligible for graduation.</p><h3>RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL) AND CREDIT TRANSFER</h3><p>MITT will not recognize prior learning for any simulation or practice experience component of this Program.</p><p>MITT may consider credit transfer requests for courses completed through another accredited program within four years of the Pharmacy Technician Program start date. Other exclusions and conditions may apply (see the MITT Credit Transfer Policy for details).</p><h3>THE MITT EXPERIENCE: INDUSTRY DRIVEN, STUDENT FOCUSED AND SUSTAINABLE OUTCOMES</h3><p>MITT’s two-year Pharmacy Technician Diploma Program is the most comprehensive program of its kind in Manitoba, with significantly more time dedicated to hands-on simulated learning (including compounding and dispensing activities&nbsp;and non-sterile and sterile extemporaneous product preparation). Students participate in laborratory activities and simulations in a newly constructed community and institutional pharmacy simulation space. These distinctive programming components, as well as the comparative tuition fee advantage, set this program apart.</p><h3>MISSION</h3><p>Create a high-impact learning environment defined by industry relevant curriculum and differentiated by a quality-centric culture.</p><h3>VISION</h3><p>Advance pharmacy technician practice in Manitoba and empower future leaders in the pharmacy technician profession to achieve excellence.</p><h3>SIMULATED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS</h3><p>MITT has invested significantly in its simulation spaces (including a new community and institutional dispensary, a community pharmacy, a compounding laboratory, and functioning aseptic product preparation space) to offer students real-world institutional and community pharmacy experiences.</p><p>To prepare students to work effectively within an interdisciplinary healthcare team environment, the program includes a number of intraprofessional and interprofessional activities with other MITT health programs, the University of Manitoba and other educational institutions in Winnipeg.</p>
