Preparing for the Pharmacy Technician Qualifying Examination - Part II (OSPE)

Part II of the Pharmacy Technician Qualifying Examination is an “objective structured performance examination” (OSPE), and is taken on a different day than Part I. The OSPE consists of a series of “stations” simulating common and/or critical practical situations. These simulations often involve interactions with a “Simulated Participant”. The Simulated Participant can be a patient, a person coming in on behalf of a patient (e.g. parent or caregiver), or a health professional. Each station is designed to assess one or more competencies.
