Virtual Pharmacy Externship for Technicians simulates a retail pharmacy. Step into this virtual pharmacy and interact with customers; work on prescriptions; interact with pharmacists, physicians, and insurance representatives; prepare medication labels; and handle inventory or store management tasks. Through the use of dynamic video and interactive tasks, emphasis is placed on critical thinking and problem solving. Choose your own path while progressing through the scenarios. The decisions you make impact the outcome and your virtual pharmacist provides feedback as you work through real-life problems in a pharmacy.

The Scenarios: 1. Tutorial. 2. The Non-English Speaking Customer. 3. Claim Denial: Generic Required. 4. Inventory Management. 5. Managing Difficult Personalities. 6. Compounding. 7.
