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-the-art NOVA Chemicals Health & Research Centre which features three pharmacy labs.
Blended learning is highlighted in our program and allows our students increased flexibility in their schedules. Faculty support diverse learning needs in our program by utilizing engaging lessons that include full simulations, role playing activities, and guest speakers.
Under the supervision of a pharmacist or pharmacy technician licensed in Ontario, students will complete two unpaid field placements after the completion of all core courses: one in a community pharmacy and one in a hospital pharmacy setting. These experiential learning placements take place immediately after the completion of Term 4. Travel and additional costs are required.
Upon graduation students are eligible to write both national and provincial licensing exams.
The Pharmacy Technician Program of Lambton College has been awarded the status of Accreditation by the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs from January 2022 to June 2028.
