Initiatives
MSHP/ASHP Pharmacy Technician Initiative
On December 7, 2008, representatives of 12 state affiliates signed agreements to join ASHP's Pharmacy Technician Initiative. Through the Initiative, ASHP and affiliates push for state laws that require, as a prerequisite for registration with the state board of pharmacy, completion of an ASHP-accredited pharmacy technician training and certification by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB).

ASHP Pharmacy Technician Accreditation
Responding to a request from the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy for MSHP's position on technician certification, pharmacists, Lance Swearingen and Craig Else and technician, JoAnne Myhre, members of the task force were charged to write the MSHP Pharmacy Technician White Paper on the topic of Pharmacy Technician Certification. The goal of this group is to assure the profession's vision of providing more direct patient care while maintaining the integrity and improving the quality of the dispensing process.
