Pharm-Tech Examination Services (PTES) endeavors to provide a quality Pharmacy Technician program. The methods used to develop and administer these programs are designed to promote the validity, measurement precision and the integrity of pharmacy operations. PTES believes that positive interaction between the Pharmacist and the Pharmacy Technician team is critical to the delivery of pharmaceutical care in today’s healthcare environment; the pharmacy employer, Pharmacist, Pharmacy Technician and patient all benefit from this special relationship. The better qualified the Pharmacy Technician, the higher quality of care this team may bring to the patient, and a greater value to the pharmacy.

PTES believes that Pharmacy Technicians (CPhTs) who are certified and registered with the state (where applicable), are the best support for Pharmacists by providing assistance with functions that ensure safe, accurate and efficient medication use.
