A $65,000 gift from Columbia Credit Union will boost Clark College’s efforts to set up a new simulation pharmacy for pharmacy technicians in training.
The gift went to the Clark College Foundation, a nonprofit public charity that raises money for college programs.
The pharmacy technician program recently relocated to Clark College’s building at Washington State University Vancouver. The move required a significant investment to redesign and remodel the lab space, which allows students to practice skills and simulate activities they will encounter in real pharmacy settings.
The plan for a fully functional 500-square-foot simulation pharmacy would not have been possible without the investment from Columbia Credit Union, foundation officials said.
