Pharmacy Technician Training Program

As a Pharmacy Technician you can be at the front line of healthcare- preparing and delivering medications and supporting pharmacists to provide care to our patients.

Since 2019, the Pharmacy Technician Training Program at Baptist Health South Florida has partnered with our inpatient and outpatient pharmacies to provide participants with online education modules, on-site group simulations, and experiential on-site education. This 10-week, full-time (400 hours) course combines online learning with on-site practical experience at our Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach facilities. At the completion of your training you will be eligible to apply for registration with the Florida Board of Pharmacy as a Pharmacy Technician. Full program scholarships, and additional hourly compensation are available through the Pharmacy Technician Scholars Program.

Baptist Health is offering a limited time scholarship for participants of the Pharmacy Technician Training Program. Applicants accepted into the Scholars program will have their tuition waived in exchange for a work commitment with Baptist Health at the completion of their training program.
