Sav-on and Walmart insist students fulfill a series of clearance requirements prior to accepting a student's externship placement.
PRIOR to filling out the Externship Request Form, you need to decide whether you would like to pursue an externship at one of the pharmacy locations listed below. These externships are dependent on availability so we need to know BEFORE you start the process if you are interested in these facilities.
If you are NOT completing your externship at one of the facilities listed below, skip this step and go to Step 2, "During Your Externship".
Students will need to complete the following requirements if they choose to accept an externship at the following locations:
Albertson's/Sav-on Pharmacies (must be a current employee or have established contact with manager)
Walmart Pharmacies (must be a current employee or have established contact with manager)
STEP 2.1: Use the EAS Pharmacy Tech Clearance Guide to complete all of the necessary requirements prior to beginning your PT externship.
Please understand you will be solely responsible for the fees associated with the on-boarding/clearance process.
The clearance guide will provide all of the specific information as to how to satisfy each component of the clearance process.
Two out of three students have their profiles rejected because they do not follow directions. Be sure to READ every word of the clearance guide before starting your profile and then continue to check off every component of the guide as you go to avoid missing essential deadlines or details required.
Completing this clearance packet does not guarantee externship placement. You still have to follow through with all of the EAS requirements listed on this website and adhere to the protocols and practices we outline beyond this initial phase.

STEP 2.2: Once all Complio verification is received you will need to request your Complio package be cleared by EAS.
Access the Complio Clearance & Start Date Request Form to request your Complio package to be reviewed for EAS clearance and to request an externship start date.
The date you request must be no EARLIER than 14 days from when you request Complio Clearance.
For example, if you submitted this request form on Wed. Jan. 11th then the EARLIEST you can begin your externship is Mon. Jan 30th.
You should receive an email with either confirmation of compliance or rejection with steps to clear your profile in 3-5 business days. Your start date will also be confirmed or rejected depending on your clearance status.
