Allied Health
This program offers core courses designed for students enrolled in the Health Information Technology, Medical Assisting, other Allied Health and proposed Pharmacy Technician programs.
Cosumnes River College (CRC) is in the early stages of developing a community college Pharmacy Technician Associate Degree Program, the first in the northern California region. The goal is to develop a complete Pharmacy Technician program that combines rigorous classroom instruction with ample hands-on experience for students; links to existing academic programs and support services at the college; engages highly qualified faculty, including those holding doctoral degrees in Pharmacy (Pharm D), and meets the accreditation standards of the American Society of Health- System Pharmacists. Regional employers have already expressed strong interest in hiring students who complete a CRC Pharmacy Technician degree. To better assess potential student interest, CRC asks that you consider providing your name and contact information through the CRC website at: www.crc.losrios.edu/pharmacy so that we may contact you when these courses become available.
