The Perfect Balance!!

The National Pharmacy Technician Association endorses this comprehensive series.  It helps students achieve the perfect balance of the complex skills and the professional demeanor necessary for the increasingly important role of a Pharmacy Technician.

How do you work through procedures and prepare students for clinical? 

 

Current, Step-by-Step Instructions—With color photographs of various aseptic techniques.

~Help students “see” what they need to do.  Instructional Resources include Aseptic technique and Sterile Products videos so students can see Pharmacy Technicians completing various procedures.

How do you integrate professional and business skills into the course?

 

Workplace Wisdoms.

 ~Provide quick, highlighted tips and comments that replicate the advice of a seasoned IV technician. 

How do you integrate professional and business skills into the course?

 

Profiles in Practice.

~Provide practical exercises that simulate “real world” pharmacy problems and provides the student the opportunity to assess their knowledge.

Chapter Reviews.

~Provide a learning assessment for both the student/trainee and instructors/trainer to assess concept comprehension.

How do Hospital Pharmacy Technicians manage the wide variety of medications?

 

Appendix with Common IV Medications.

~A current listing of common IV medications used in the US; drugs are categorized alphabetically both by their generic name and trade name — their use/classification is also provided.

What tools do students have for clinical?

 

Training & Validation Forms.

~Students and instructors/trainers can utilize the standardized training and validation forms provided in the book to coincide with lab practicums, skills analysis or even certification programs.

How do left handed students manage the techniques presented?

 

Appendix for Left Handed Personnel.

~Unless you are left-handed or train individuals who are, you may not see the tremendous value in this feature.  Left-handed trainees have been frustrated trying to master aseptic technique for years — as all instructional material has been designed for a right-handed perspective.  Step-by-Step photo-procedures, using the left handed, have been included for all baseline aseptic techniques.
