Whats the deal with number 2? Is a tech license really necessary, and if so, why?

How does one go about getting a pharm tech lisence?


If selected for admission to the Doctor of Pharmacy program, the student will sign a document which indicates a willingness to comply with the following when classes begin in August:
1. To show record of immunizations including inoculation against hepatitis-B;
2. To have a valid pharmacy technician license; and
3. To be prepared to provide own transportation to off-campus clerkship sites

ok... question...

i battled with this a few years ago... they apparently do not have an intern/extern license in that state right??

this may be a little confusing so bear with me...
here you have to have been licensed in the state before obtaining any hours (no matter where they are from) if you want to transfer them in.
so my question is... if i score transfer into IL, how many hours do i need and do i have to be licensed as a pharm tech before they will count?

also are there any special circumstances like... 300 out of school hours or 400 traditional hours after your 3rd professional year that IL requires?


oh and to contribute to the thread... if they don't have an intern/extern license that is the only way you will be able to work if on rotations i'm sure is the reason.

So to get a tech lisence in IL, do you need to have some pharmacy experience?

In order to work as a technician or student in Illinois one must have a valid Illinois Pharmacy Technician license. All you need to do is go to www.ildpr.com and find the Pharmacy Technician section. Print and fill out the proper forms and send in a check for $40. Students as well as techs are able to work for I believe 6 weeks on copies of the submitted papers. However, if a license has not been issued after 6 weeks, one is not able to continue to work. Illinois does not require that their tech's be nationally certified. If you any questions please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]

There are no requirements in Illinois other than that you pay the $40 and that you have a HS diploma, GED, or proof of enrollment in HS. Illinois licenses technicians at 16 so that is the reason for proof of HS enrollment. And yes the tech license is required for your intern/extern rotations.

[ButlerPharm.D.]

You need to be more specific about what you mean, what seems to be the problem?

how many hours are required for licensure?
are there any specific requirements for the hours?
must i have a tech license prior to acquiring said hours even if they are not obtained in the state?

Eek! It has been 4 wks but I haven't received my license yet. Do you know how long it usually takes to receive it?

 

[ultracet]

We need 600 hours, and it can be 600 hrs from the 6th yr rotations...so basically if you have PharmD, you should have no problem getting license in Illinois.

wow that's insane!!!!!!!!

Here we're required 1500hrs

 

[fub5623]

it takes forever thats all i can say
mine took close to 2 months

Well..Missouri is also 1500 hrs but it can all come from the rotations, so basically they're same as Illinois... 😀 (legislation just changed this April)

haha
1500 is a lot different to me than 600!

in theory all of ours can come from rotations too as long as you get with licensed preceptors for your rotations


i'm still just not over the 600....

letjin,
You can check the website to see if your license has been issued, simply do a license search.
