I am registered as an intern technician and working on meeting all of the pharmacy technician registration requirements. Will I have to stop my registration process while I am a pharmacy technician (EA)?

While registered as a pharmacy technician (EA), you may—and are encouraged to—continue your pharmacy technician registration process by taking the Jurisprudence, Ethics and Professionalism exam and the PEBC Qualifying Exam. If you attempt PACE while registered as a pharmacy technician (EA), your PACE assessor must still directly supervise and observe your practice.

If you meet all of the pharmacy technician registration requirements while registered as a pharmacy technician (EA), you may apply to register as a pharmacy technician. Once you have fully registered as a pharmacy technician, your EA certificate of registration will expire 60 days after it was last issued.
