Part 2: Program Summary
| Provide a high level review of the program to include highlights, successes, challenges, significant changes, and significant resources needed to support the program |

The Advanced-level designations for Pharmacy Technicians drove the creation of Advanced Level AAS degree program. The Entry-level Certificate of Completion is embedded into the AAS degree. The advanced-level program initially required students to have completed the entry-level program certificate to register and complete the advanced courses. Processes that allow graduates of other ASHP/ACPE accredited programs to complete CNM's Advanced-level AAS have been developed. Additionally, the credit for prior learning pathway is being explored in hopes of increasing program enrollment levels. |
