Calling on pharmacy technicians<br />
We have been approached by a certified pharmacy technician who is looking for a course dealing with inventory<br />
management. A search <strong>of</strong> known resources and the Internet has turned up nothing.<br />
If you are aware <strong>of</strong> any courses on this topic, please advise Celia Powell at the <strong>College</strong>: tel (416) 962-8461, x 251,<br />
fax (416) 847-8281, e-mail: cpowell@ocpinfo.com. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.<br />
Notice Pharmacy Technicians with a seven-digit OCP number<br />
If you applied to the <strong>College</strong> to have your pharmacy technician documents evaluated within the last few months,<br />
you were most likely assigned a seven-digit number starting with 100XXXX. Should you need to contact the<br />
<strong>College</strong>, please note that this has been changed to a six-digit number and will start with 60XXXX (the last four<br />
digits will stay the same as with the seven-digit number). For example, an assigned number <strong>of</strong> 1003789 has now<br />
been changed to 603789. You will be receiving <strong>of</strong>ficial notification from the <strong>College</strong> on this change shortly.<br />
