NEW Pharmacy Externships with Cornerstone Institute of Technology!


Cornerstone Institute of Technology has reached an agreement with several pharmacies that will give our Pharmacy Technician students an important leg up in the job market. These pharmacies will offer their renowned externship programs to students taking Cornerstone’s Pharmacy Technician online career training program provided basic qualifications are met.

These pharmacies will supply externs with 20 to 40 hours of hands-on experience that includes assisting pharmacists with prescriptions, answering patient questions about medications and a bevy of administrative duties.

In order to qualify for an externship, you will have to pass a drug screening, obtain general liability insurance, and background check/employment verification will be required.

*Disclaimer: An externship with these pharmacies is not guaranteed. All students must apply to the program and complete the prerequisite criteria before being accepted into the program. Positions in the externship program are contingent on availability at each pharmacy location. Students are also allowed the option to set up their own externship at any other retail or hospital facility or you may complete a research assignment in lieu of completing an externship.
