The Pharmacy Technician (Perfect Paperback)

Review:
By Ruth Sheek (Texas)

I'm studying for the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) exam
because Texas requires this particular exam for me to be registered with the state board. I'm glad I'm using this book because it covers multiple topics that I didn't even realize might be needed in this field. It's easy to read, and each chapter has review questions in a Self Test that help me spot areas I need to study more. Plenty of illustrations and a format that keeps pertinent information on the same page as the visuals make it a smooth reading experience. I've also purchased the companion workbook to reinforce what I'm learning before taking the exam.

I used this book along with the accompanying study guide (sold separately) to study for my PTCB national certification exam. The chapters are broken down in an easy to follow format, and are arranged in logical order. Important key terms are emphasized and there are self tests at the end of every chapter. The book addresses retail pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, extended care pharmacy and other avenues that a certified technician can follow.

Even though I've worked in retail pharmacy for over two years, there was A LOT of information in this book I'd never been exposed to. The hospital and extended care information alone made it well worth the investment. I passed my exam on the first try and I'm convinced it was because of this book and the accompanying workbook. I definitely recommend this book as a study guide for the PTCB exam.
