  Programs that are accredited for both pharmacists and pharmacy technicians will have two separate UPNs, one with a "P" designator and one with a "T" designator. Numerous State Boards of Pharmacy are now requiring that technicians complete ACPE-accredited programs to maintain their registration or licensure and several, as in South Carolina, have already adopted requirements mandating Technician-Specific ACPE programs. According to Scott Meyers, a member of PTCB's Board of Directors, it is unlikely that PTCB will require Technician-Specific ACPE programs, although it is possible that they may require CPE programs be ACPE-accredited at some point in the future. The caveat, however, is that PTCB regulations state that CPE programs must be applicable for the practice of pharmacy technicians.Programs that contain or focus on pharmacist-specific responsibilities, such as patient counseling, can be rejected for recertification purposes. Technicians should conclude that completing non-ACPE accredited programs, or ACPE-accredited programs with only a "P" designator contains a risk of rejection by either your State Board of Pharmacy and/or PTCB, whereas completing ACPE-accredited programs with a "T" designator should be safely accepted by any regulatory agency. The National Pharmacy Technician Association, NPTA, was among the first organizations to adopt ACPE-accreditation status for pharmacy technician CPE programs, and ACPE's new standards indicate that NPTA was simply a forerunner. STAT Educational Services, which is the organizational division that accredits CPE programs for NPTA and Today's TechnicianÔ magazine, is the largest provider of technician-specific CPE programs and will continue to provide print-based, web-based and live CPE offeringsexclusively for pharmacy technicians. 15-Dec-07 3:00 PM New CE Standards The Accreditation Council on Pharmacy Education, ACPE, has adopted new standards for differentiating continuing pharmacy education (CPE) programs for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Effective January 1, 2008, all new ACPE-accredited CPE programs will include a designator of either "P" for pharmacists or "T" for technicians as part of the program's Universal Program Number (UPN).Programs that are accredited for both pharmacists and pharmacy technicians will have two separate UPNs, one with a "P" designator and one with a "T" designator.

  ASHP News: PTCB Turns 10 - [Cached Version]

  ICHP Executive Director Scott Meyers recalled meeting in 1993 with Wagenknecht to discuss their competing exams and the need for a consistent certification process.
  ...
  "We looked at each other's exams and said, they're not that different, so let's see if we can combine them," Meyers said.
  
  Also around that time, ASHP and APhA were moving forward with longstanding plans to pursue national certification of pharmacy technicians.Ultimately, the state and national organizations looked to each other as logical partners in the enterprise.
  
  "Once we got the core founders together, there was a real good group dynamic," Meyers said.
  
  "We never struggled to put things together," he added.
  ...
  The task analysis was repeated in 1998 and 2004 "to keep the test up to date, and to make sure that we're not testing for things that technicians are no longer doing, and to make sure that we're testing for things that technicians have begun to do," Meyers said.
  ...
  Meyers said he had gotten early hints about the demand for technician certification after ICHP began franchising its exam to other states.
  
  "Once we saw the uptake in a few states," he said, "we kind of knew we were onto something and that this was the right thing to do."
  
  "It does surprise me how big we are now," Meyers said of PTCB's success, "but at the same time, there was the feeling that it had great potential" from the beginning.
  
  Meyers noted that PTCB's upcoming anniversary is "a great opportunity to draw attention to the examination and to technicians in general and to the expanded role that they have begun to play" in pharmacy practice.
