FROM STAFF REPORTS
In only its second year, 11 Carter County CTE students participated in the Pharmacy Technician class and achieved a 100% pass rate on the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam.
With only an average pass rate of 70% of test takers on the PTCB exam, this is an extraordinary accomplishment for the students.
This one semester course prepared them for the Pharmacy Tech Certification Exam and upon passing, enter the workforce as Certified Pharmacy Technicians.
Along with traditional instructor-led classes, the students also gained hands-on, work based learning clinical experience with local participating pharmacies.
The work-based learning partners this year include Roan Mountain Pharmacy, Food City, Walgreens–Elizabethton, Walgreens-Johnson City, Medical Care-Elizabethton and Johnson City, and Burgie Drug.
