Pharmacy training access and new program rules

Beginning November 1, 2025, Oklahoma sets guidelines for initial and on-the-job pharmacy technician training, with initial and yearly Board approval required. Applicants age 17 or older can complete Phase II training in a pharmacy without being employed there. They must be enrolled in a Board-approved youth apprenticeship or Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education pharmacy technician program. The permit is for educational purposes only. These programs must carry liability insurance covering students wherever they train in a pharmacy.
