HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, January 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Board of Pharmacy Technician Specialties (BPTS) today announced the launch of the Advanced Certificate in Medication & Patient Safety, the first board-level credential of its kind created exclusively for pharmacy technicians.

This groundbreaking certificate addresses one of healthcare’s most urgent priorities—medication safety—by formally recognizing the specialized knowledge, skills, and competencies pharmacy technicians bring to error prevention and patient protection across all practice settings.

Medication errors remain one of the most significant and preventable risks in healthcare. By introducing a board-recognized credential focused solely on medication safety, BPTS is advancing the role of pharmacy technicians as trained, credentialed contributors to safety, quality, and continuous improvement initiatives.
