MTC currently offers two Pharmacy Technician programs, the Diploma Curriculum Program and a new online Community Pharmacy Technician Certificate Program.
A Web-Based online Community Pharmacy Technician Certificate program will be offered through the Airport Campus of Midlands Technical College beginning Spring semester 2008. This program is accredited by the American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists (ASHP) and meets criteria for Pharmacy Technician state certification requirements mandated by the South Carolina Board of Pharmacy.
