This certificate program prepares students for entry-level roles in community and retail pharmacies, covering prescription preparation, inventory management and customer service alongside foundational pharmacotherapy and medication-dispensing knowledge. Coursework includes the mathematics required for accurate dispensing, administrative pharmacy operations and preparation of custom medication mixtures, delivered in a blended format combining in-person classes at Main Campus with online components. Students complete a practicum in their final semester, applying their training in a pharmacy setting with a SAIT clinical partner; placements are assigned with consideration for location preference, though limited Calgary availability may require travel. Graduates receive a SAIT Pharmacy Assistant certificate and are prepared to support pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. The program accepts international applicants and meets the field of study requirement for the Post-Graduation Work Permit.
