(Fort Collins, CO) - November 7, 2007 - U.S. Career Institute, a nationally accredited distance learning school, announced the launching of their latest career training course, Pharmacy Technician.  The Pharmacy Technician course is their 17th course to date, further expanding their course offerings in the medical field.

“Pharmacy Technician is a perfect addition to our medical course offerings,” said Ann Rohr, president of U.S. Career Institute. “Pharmacy Technicians are in high demand and the career is one of the fastest growing in America.  The hours and job flexibility in this career are a great match with our current student population who enjoy the flexibility that comes with distance education.”
