PTU Elite: Point-of-Care Testing Program Highlights

Successful pharmacies augment access to healthcare in their communities by training all staff members, including pharmacy technicians, for optimal performance and results.

Customers who choose to have tests performed in your pharmacy may spend more time in your store and increase sales.

Trained pharmacy technicians have meaningful conversations with customers about routine, sometimes spontaneous tests that can be done at your pharmacy.

Your pharmacy technicians add value by helping the healthcare team detect disease and refer patients to their primary care provider for treatment.

Key Benefits

  • Convenience. Ten hours of self-paced, online study, available to staff 24/7, accompanied by clinical resources, quizzes, exercises, and readymade rubrics that help supervising pharmacists confirm skills.
  • Engagement. Immersive videos, problem-solving scenarios, patient cases, and simulated practice keep students engaged in teaching points.
  • Affordability. Variable pricing, adjusted for the size of your organization, whether you have just a few local sites or numerous pharmacies nationwide.
  • Practicality. Technicians learn to take vitals and collect nasal swabs, throat samples, fingerstick blood samples, and oral fluid samples. They become proficient with administrative tasks that accompany point-of-care testing.

Prepare Pharmacy Technicians to Administer Point-of-Care Tests

Pharmacies are responding to America’s overburdened healthcare system by expanding services to include point-of-care testing that protects and enhances public health.
