The Pharmacy Technician (Perfect Paperback)

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.
