Colorado Springs Pharmacy Tech Classrooms and Equipment
At our Colorado Springs Campus, our mock pharmacy has a compounding lab, a sterile lab, and a retail pharmacy lab in one room, allowing for ease of access and use.
The shelves in the lab look like actual pharmacy shelves, so you can learn how to translate and fill mock prescriptions, keep an inventory, and organize and set up stations as you would in a real pharmacy.
During your pharmacy studies, you’ll receive training in the fundamentals of:
- Anatomy and physiology.
- Prescription interpretation.
- Pharmacology.
- Dosage calculation, measuring, and mixing.
- Ethics and legal case studies.
- And more.
You’ll also learn to work with chemicals or compounding agents as simple as sugar, salt, and cornstarch and as complex as bentonite, methylparaben (a preservative), citric acid, and many similar elements.
