Florida could require tech registration
May 8, 2008
Florida would become the latest state to require the registration and training of pharmacy technicians thanks to legislation going before Gov. Charlie Crist to sign into law.
Under the bill passed by Florida legislators, technicians would need to register with the Florida Board of Pharmacy by 2010. Starting in 2011, the legislation would require them to complete one of the following: a board-approved training program, 1,500 hours of work as a technician under a Florida licensed pharmacist or certification by a program accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies.
ASHP recently launched an initiative to work with state affiliates to advocate for state laws that require, as a prerequisite for state board registration, completion of an ASHP-accredited pharmacy technician training and PTCB certification.
