I recently just got accepted to pharmacy school for Fall 2008... I was scheduled to take the PTCB exam in December so that I could have a better chance at working in a pharmacy, however now that I'm accepted, do I still have to take the exam? Here are my thoughts, since I'm accepted, I can work as a pharmacy intern and not worry about the PTCB exam because that exam is more for pharmacy technicians and not interns. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🙂
 
I wouldn't bother taking the exam. Well, that is unless you'll make more money as a certified tech than an intern. In some places this is the case in the first couple of years of school.
