The Council on Credentialing in Pharmacy (CCP) has formulated and published a Pharmacy Technician Credentialing Framework that offers a clear and detailed plan for a uniform national system of regulating pharmacy technician registration, training, and competency assessment in the US. Based on standardizing currently available instruments, including a task analysis, model curriculum, training program accreditation, and adoption of a psychometrically sound competency examination, the framework is a proposal endorsed by a broad range of pharmacy groups and practice areas and represents a consensus model on which progressive future measures can be based if it is widely accepted and adopted.
