October 7: APhA’s Pharmacy-Based Immunization Administration by Pharmacy Technicians training program
Seating is limited.
Ohio Pharmacists Association, an APhA licensed partner, is offering APhA’s Pharmacy-Based Immunization Administration by Pharmacy Technicians. This program was originally developed by Washington State University (WSU) and revised through a partnership between WSU and the American Pharmacists Association (APhA). The Pharmacy-Based Immunization Administration by Pharmacy Technicians training program explores the expanding role of the pharmacy technician by providing additional skills training to administer immunizations. This two-part program emphasizes a health care team collaboration between pharmacists and technicians which seeks to improve population health by increasing immunization rates in states that allow technicians to immunize. Composed of an online self-study component combined with a live seminar that teaches hands-on immunization techniques, this program will provide a total of six hours of continuing education for technicians.
