Thunder Bay News Watch reports that Confederation College has launched a Pharmacy Technician program and unveiled a new state-of-the-art lab for the program. Pharmacy technician students will use the lab to learn the skills needed to work in a community pharmacy or hospital setting. “This space will allow Pharmacy Technicians to learn [every day] so that once they are employed and once they are working in a community environment, it will be a natural progression as to what they need to need to know,” said Confederation program coordinator Shawna Larocque. The program—which Larocque said is the first of its kind in Northwestern Ontario—aims to address the shortage of pharmacy technicians in the region.
