Founded in 1979, the American Association of Pharmacy Technicians (AAPT) is an international, nonprofit, educational and professional organization dedicated to the improved delivery of pharmaceutical services through exchange, development, and dissemination of information. AAPT represents technicians practicing in hospital, extended care facilities, and retail pharmacies, as well as educators and many government agencies. AAPT strongly encourages professional recognition of pharmacy technicians and standardization of job titles and responsibilities. We are committed to the development of formal training programs and a means of demonstrating competence through certification. We are active in providing continuing education opportunities to help technicians update their skills and keep pace with the challenges in pharmacy practice. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The mission statement of the Pharmacy Technician Educators Council (PTEC) is to assist the profession of pharmacy in preparing high quality, well-trained technical personnel through education and practical training. In addition, PTEC works to promote the profession of pharmacy through professional activities and dissemination of information and knowledge to members, pharmacy organizations, and other specialists and professions. PTEC started in 1991 at the 3rd annual Pharmacy Technician Educators Conference. We have an annual meeting during the summer. Most PTEC members are technician educators, with other members being those interested in supporting its activities.
