This list of
TRADE-GENERIC EQUIVALENTS
must
be memorized as a requirement for the Pharmacy Technology program.
This list is introduced in the PHAR 048 class and
will be used as a reference throughout the entire program.
A random
selection of these equivalents will be tested on the final exams for
most Pharmacy Technology courses.
At the
beginning of the externship course (PHAR 072), you will be
required to demonstrate your knowledge of these equivalents on a
matching test. This
test will be given during the mandatory orientation meeting for new
externs at the beginning of each semester.
To be placed
for externship, you must score at least 95% on this matching test.
If you do not achieve a minimum score of 95%, you may repeat
the test at times scheduled throughout that semester.
(Check the Pharmacy Technology classroom for dates and times for
repeat tests.) You will be
placed for externship only after this requirement has been met.
NOTE:
Scores from tests taken
before
you
start the PHAR 072 course will
not be accepted for the externship prerequisite.
You will be
required to learn additional trade-generic equivalents for the
PHAR
051, PHAR 052, and PHAR 060 classes. You will not
be tested on these additional
trade-generic equivalents on the PHAR 072 matching test.
NOTE:
Occasional revisions will be made in this list to include new
drugs and delete older drugs.
Please make sure that you have the most current copy of the list
at the beginning of externship.
The PHAR 072 matching test will be based on the most current
version of this list.
Copies of
the most current TRADE-GENERIC EQUIVALENTS list are available in the
H-210 classroom on the Santa Ana College campus.
