Lakeland's first pharmacy technician training program will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning Jan. 19 through April 29 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. on the main campus.

The 105-hour, non-credit program covers the fundamentals and specifics of becoming a pharmacy technician, including an extended module on pharmacy technician calculations.

Pharmacy technicians assist pharmacists in the packaging and mixing of prescriptions, inventory control and purchasing, and helping to maintain client records and referring clients for consultation with the pharmacist.

About Operation USO Care Package
The anthrax threat after Sept. 11, 2001 led the Department of Defense to halt the forwarding of correspondence and individual care packages addressed to "Any Service Member." In its place, the Operation USO Care Package program was created as a safe alternative for the public to show their support. The USO works closely with the U.S. Department of Defense to distribute care packages where the need is greatest.
