At the PTEC 2025 Conference, we took to the exhibit hall to ask sponsors and attendees an important question:

“What is one skill every pharmacy technician should master?”

Listen to Jacob Hain, CPhT, Education Programs Specialist with the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, share his perspective.

The PTEC Conference brings together voices from across education, workforce development, and pharmacy practice to exchange ideas and learn from one another.
