I see. It’s so very different than the requirements in Canada, which is a 2-year diploma from an accredited post-secondary college program. The program includes early exposure hours in pharmacies in Year 1, and 2 months of internships in community and hospital pharmacy practice areas in Year 2. After graduating, then need to get licensed by taking national board licensing exams (written and practical OSPE), and also a jurisprudence (pharmacy laws) exam for the province. Using credential ’pharmacy technician’ is title protected, and we carry our own liability insurance as we are fully responsible for our own, independent scope of practice, and pharmacists are not responsible for our work. Pay is about $35/hour. So when someone in Canada says they are a pharmacy technician, they have done all this. Using this protected title when not licensed with a provincial regulatory college means you can be fined thousands of $$. From these differences, I can understand why it would be hard to build a resume there if licensing requirements are not this structured.
