PHARMACIST-ASSISTED
TECHNICIAN SELF-INSTRUCTIONAL MODULES (PATSIM)
|
WHAT: The PATSIM; Pharmacist-Assisted
Technician Self-Instructructional Modules, offer
a standardized, all-inclusive, accredited education
in an on-the-job setting. The PATSIM program
is an ASHP (American Society of Health-Systems
Pharmacists) accredited program, offered as
a non-credit program or degree granting option.
To obtain a degree, the same program of study
is followed that the traditional on-campus students
take.
|
WHY:
The Pharmacy Technician field is
one in which we some-times must utilize untraditional
education delivery methods. In our rural areas, practice
sites with standardized training required, meeting the
needs of today's students and other reasons, training
is sometimes best done on-the-job. The North Dakota State
College of Science has developed a program of study that
meets all of these needs.
HOW: The student-technician trains
on-the-job while taking didactic courses from the North
Dakota State College of Science with the participating
pharmacist serving as the instructor on-site. States vary
in their technician training requirements. |
|
| This
program is accredited by ASHP and meets the North Dakota
State Board of Pharmacy education standards that must
be met prior to registration. The program requires all
students to take the Pharmacy Technician Board Certification
Exam, so they are also meeting those certification requirements
set forth by many states and practice sites. |
