Abstract
A non-random, snowball sampling technqiue was used to survey eleven Canadian pharmacy technician training programs and thirteen pharmacy regulatory and voluntary bodies surrounding pharmacy technicians. A 100% response rate was achieved in the questionnaires which targeted issues such as nomenclature, certification, accreditation, and education of pharmacy technicians. Survey results indicate that while many provincial pharmacy regulatory boards have addressed issues such as the nomenclature and workplace role of pharmacy technicians, there is a lack of consensus and discussion in the areas of certification, accreditation, and responsibility for continuing education.
