Pharmacy Technician Training
Program Stakeholders
Project Facts
90 hours WBT part of larger blended curricula to be conducted at
METC, and VA and Government locations throughout the world
Initial phase accomplished curriculum analysis, program design,
and development of a prototype
Currently designing and developing WBT and planning for
program implementation and sustainment

Prioritization
VERY IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
NOT
IMPORTANT
• Applicability in more
than one Pharmacy
Technician course
• Applicability between
curriculum paths
• Lends itself to
graphics and animation
• Content among
agencies is similar
• Perishable or
depreciable skills that
may require a refresher
• Stable and durable
• Lends itself to highlevel interactivity
• Sharable with other
Government health
training programs
• Lends itself to
blended learning
• Contains learning
objectives that are
prerequisite to other
courses
• Lends itself to
practice and
remediation
• Similar lesson
structure within a
course
• Could be used
in other health
training
programs
outside the
Government
• Occurs early in
program
curriculum
