Pharmacy technicians play a critical role in providing quality patient care on behalf of a pharmacist by acting as gatekeepers for prescribed medications, compounds, and devices. Not only is the demand for pharmacy technicians growing, but it is also a rewarding career path that allows you to work in the medical & pharmaceutical field.

Phlebotomy, which is the practice of drawing blood, is an essential skill within the healthcare industry and is offered in Arizona College’s Medical Assisting program.
