      <Description>THE PHARMACY TECHNICIAN CERTIFICATION BOARD (PTCB) WAS ESTABLISHED IN JANUARY 1995 AND IS GOVERNED BY FIVE ORGANIZATIONS: THE AMERICAN PHARMACISTS ASSOCIATION; THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HEALTH-SYSTEM PHARMACISTS; THE ILLINOIS COUNCIL OF HEALTH-SYSTEM PHARMACISTS; THE MICHIGAN PHARMACISTS ASSOCIATION; AND THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BOARDS OF PHARMACY. PTCB IS A NATIONAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM THAT ENABLES PHARMACY TECHNICIANS TO WORK MORE EFFECTIVELY WITH PHARMACISTS TO OFFER SAFE AND EFFECTIVE PATIENT CARE AND SERVICE. PTCB DEVELOPS, MAINTAINS, PROMOTES AND ADMINISTERS A NATIONAL COMMISSION OF CERTIFYING AGENCIES- (NCCA) ACCREDITED CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR PHARMACY TECHNICIANS. THE PTCB EXAMINATION WAS DEVELOPED BY PTCB TO DETERMINE WHETHER INDIVIDUALS HAVE MASTERED THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NECESSARY TO PRACTICE AS A PHARMACY TECHNICIAN. SINCE 1995, PTCB HAS CERTIFIED OVER 400,000 PHARMACY TECHNICIANS THROUGH THE EXAM AND TRANSFER PROCESS. IN 2011, PTCB CERTIFIED OVER 39,000 PHARMACY TECHNICIANS AND RECERTIFIED OVER 81,500 PHARMACY TECHNICIANS.</Description>
