Please join NBCC and COE Health as we celebrate Pharmacy Tech Day on Oct 15th, 2024, and Respiratory Therapy Week Oct 21st-25th.
Pharmacy technicians are the vital link in healthcare, ensuring safe medication management and supporting optimal patient care daily. From demonstrating devices and verifying medications to administering vaccinations, they play a crucial role in a growing field with endless opportunities to make a difference. Check out the Pharmacy Technician program and requirements at Program Details (nbcc.ca)
Respiratory therapists (RTs) are healthcare professionals who specialize in evaluating, treating, and caring for patients with breathing or cardiopulmonary disorders. RTs work with people of all ages, using advanced equipment and therapies to help improve lung function and quality of life.
