Elevating Pharmacy Technician Education: The Power of Educators and Professional Advocacy

Pharmacy technician educators are the backbone of our profession. They are the mentors who guide students through complex material, the leaders who shape professional identity, and the advocates who ensure education remains grounded in patient safety, ethics, and real-world practice. Long before a pharmacy technician steps into a role, an educator has invested time, patience, and belief in their potential.

At RxTechExam, we see firsthand how strong educators change lives. Student success does not happen in isolation, it happens when education, mentorship, and leadership intersect. We actively advocate for pharmacy technician educators who are doing the critical work of preparing the next generation of professionals. Mentorship is central to everything we do. Educators don’t just teach content; they model professionalism, resilience, and lifelong learning. As pharmacy evolves, educators continue to adapt, learning new regulations, credentials, and workforce demands, so their students can succeed in an ever-changing healthcare environment. That dedication deserves recognition, resources, and strong professional communities.

This is where the Pharmacy Technician Educators Council (PTEC) plays an essential role. As PTEC members, we are constantly learning from one another, sharing best practices, strengthening educational pathways, and advocating for credentialing and standards that elevate the profession. PTEC creates space for collaboration and leadership development that benefits educators, students, and the pharmacy workforce as a whole.

As we look ahead, PTEC 2026 represents an important opportunity for pharmacy technician educators and leaders to come together, learn from one another, and continue strengthening our profession. The conference offers meaningful education, practical insights, and a collaborative environment focused on student success, credentialing, and workforce advancement. PTEC 2026 Registration is now open, and RxTechExam is proud to support and attend this year’s conference. We look forward to connecting with educators, members, and partners who share a commitment to advancing pharmacy technician education and shaping the future of the profession—together!

Wishing you continued success, Dr. Abel Guevara III, CPhTAdv
