How does ABHES evaluate the pharmacy technician programs?

• A. By evaluating the pharmacy curriculum in isolation.
• B. As part of the institution's overall accredited health education offerings.
• C. By auditing student placements after graduation.
• D. By assessing tuition and facilities quality alone.

Answer: (B)

ABHES evaluates the pharmacy technician program as part of the institution’s overall accredited health education offerings. The accreditation process looks at how the entire health education portfolio is organized—governance, resources, qualified faculty, curriculum integrity, student support, and outcomes—ensuring all programs within the institution meet the agency’s standards. It isn’t about judging a single program in isolation, nor focusing only on post-graduation placements or tuition and facilities.
