The Pharmacy Technical Assistance program prepares students to practise the occupation of pharmacy technical assistant. Pharmacy technical assistants (PTAs) may work in community pharmacies or pharmacies in health care institutions. PTAs support pharmacists in tasks related to the medication circuit and assist them in patient management. Under the responsibility of pharmacists, they process prescriptions and requests in various work environments, package medications, prepare sterile and non-sterile preparations, and carry out activities related to the dispensing and distribution of medications. They also perform activities related to inventory maintenance and control as well as related tasks such as document production and participation in special projects. In addition, they may collaborate in risk management activities and the training of peers. Finally, the task of performing container/content verification of medications may be delegated to PTAs. PTAs use computer equipment, pharmacy software, automated and specialized equipment, and various technologies to perform the various tasks associated with the steps in the medication circuit. Their work requires communication and teamwork skills in an interprofessional setting. PTAs must also ensure that they prevent infection and contamination as well as health, safety and environmental hazards. To do so, they must comply with current laws, regulations and standards.
