If you are interested in health care, with a desire to assist patients who require a range of pharmacy services, then the Community Pharmacy Assistant program may be a perfect fit for you. This one-year Ontario College Certificate is a fully-integrated program including medical conditions and medications, professional practice, and inventory management.
