| Description: | In Ontario, Pharmacy Technicians are regulated healthcare professionals and play an integral role in our healthcare system. Pharmacies across Ontario and Canada have seen their workload and staffing increase since the start of the pandemic. Ontario pharmacists and pharmacy technicians have received changes to their roles and responsibilities in the pharmacy. Pharmacy technicians in Ontario are now able to administer the influenza vaccine.
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.
