LEAWOOD, Kan. – For years, the National Healthcareer Association has advocated on behalf of all pharmacy technicians. Our mission to empower people to access a better future drives us to connect with community pharmacies and other pharmacy technician employers to ensure all techs are granted equal employment opportunities, regardless of their certification.

“Removing barriers that limit the options for certification creates a larger pool of qualified technicians, promotes innovation in the development of training and exam resources, and amplifies the collective voice of industry advocates that support professional advancement for technicians," said Lyndsey McDonald, director at National Healthcareer Association.

Walgreens is as excited as NHA about this partnership, and they’ve shared the news with their internal teams and store team members. Visit your local Walgreens with any questions about their open technician roles and opportunities for ExCPT-certified technicians.
