New Pharmacy Technician Diploma

John Woodson started the meeting by stating the objective of the meeting as reviewing and possibly approving the curriculum for the new Pharmacy Technician Diploma program. He stated that all committee members had received a copy of the program and course curriculum documents with the meeting invitation.

Margaret Burdette from Institutional Research explained the curriculum development process to the members of the committee. She indicated that the curriculum had been developed by Dr. Ann Barnes who is the new program coordinator for the Pharmacy Technician Diploma program and is a registered pharmacist with many years of experience. She reviewed the curriculum documents with the group and discussed the College standards for each curriculum element. She asked that the group review the elements and then either make suggestions for improvement to Dr. Barnes or approve as is.

John Woodson led the review of the documents focusing on the program outcomes and criteria and the course competencies and criteria and how well each met the standards. At the close of the discussion, it was decided by the committee that no changes were needed.   A vote was taken to approve the new curriculum and passed unanimously.
