Due to the Health Emergency, pharmacy technician trainee licenses that expire 11/30/2020 will be extended to June 30, 2021. The Board will re-evaluate again in June 2021 if additional extensions are required. The extension will apply to pharmacy technician trainee licenses that expire while we are in a Health Emergency. Please note: This extension will continue to be evaluated periodically, and so it is highly encouraged to become nationally certified and apply for your pharmacy technician license.
