I work at Walgreens and I actually called the district office about this. They told me that an Intern Position is above a Nationally Certified Pharmacy Technician position, and if you become an intern before your Tech license expires, you do not have to do continuing education. Now I have a question for you guys...for pharm techs who got accepted this year (and will matriculate starting Fall 2007) can you get an intern license now and start receiving the higher pay, or do you have to wait until you actually start your P-1 year. Because I thought I remembered someone working as an intern, the summer before they started thier first yeart in pharmacy school??
