Iowa Board of Pharmacy

Question: My technician trainee registration is about to expire and I have not obtained national certification. Can I still work in my pharmacy?

Your technician trainee registration is valid for one year to allow you time to become a nationally certified pharmacy technician. If you do not obtain national certification by the expiration of your technician trainee registration,  you are not allowed to perform functions of a technician in your pharmacy. You will need to register with the Board as a pharmacy support person and you are limited to functions authorized for a person registered as a PSP.
