About the course

In Ontario, Pharmacy Technicians are regulated healthcare professionals and play an integral role in our healthcare system. Lambton College students experience learning that is innovative, engaging and simulates real pharmacy practice. Pharmacy Technicians are in high demand, not only in Ontario but throughout Canada. Our students are trained in our state-of-practice NOVA Chemicals Health & Research Centre which features three pharmacy labs. The Community Pharmacy Lab includes a full simulated pharmacy that students practice in from Term 1 ? Term 4. Being immersed in simulations allows our students to not only learn how to process and prepare prescriptions but also to develop their professional and interpersonal skills that will help them to be successful after graduation. The Hospital Pharmacy Lab is equipped with an anteroom and sterile room that provides our students with the hands-on skills required for their success in hospital and specialized pharmacies. Students are focused on learning hospital workflow and are taught how to prepare sterile medications. These medications include IV bags and sterile eye drops. The Specialized Compounding Lab provides students with the opportunity to transform raw pharmaceutical ingredients into specialized medications that are customized to individual patients. Our students learn to make creams, ointments, gels, medicated lozenges, and many more specialized products. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
