Brittney Scharman, CPhT-ADV Board Liaison
Brittney Scharman is an Investigational Pharmacy Technician with the University of Utah and Huntsman Cancer Hospital for the last 7 years. She has been a pharmacy technician for 14 years. She started her pharmacy career by getting her license when she was a manager of the front end of a Walgreens in order to help the pharmacy in busy times. She recently achieved her CPhT-ADV with the help of the USHP scholarship. She absolutely loves her job and helping people through clinical studies. She has a teenage boy and an amazing husband. When not working, she enjoys spending time with her family. She enjoys going for drives and watching movies. | Kathy Elliot, CPhT Chair
I am passionate about mentoring other caregivers, which is one of the reasons I love working on the Education and Research team, where I can assist other technicians to further their careers and to work at the top of their licensure. I am new to USHP and to the technician committee, but I’m excited to work on achieving my CPhT-ADV with the help of the USHP scholarships, and then share my experience with other technicians to show them the processes that they can do to advance their careers too!

My name is Kathy Elliott. I am a Pharmacy Technician Specialist on the Education and Research Team with Intermountain Health. I have worked for Intermountain Health for 9 years and have been a pharmacy technician for 23 years. I started my career as a pharmacy clerk for Wal-Mart Pharmacy, where I trained on-the-job to be a CPhT. Throughout my career, I have worked in multiple types of pharmacies including retail, closed door, cycle fill, mail order, and clinical pharmacy. I have worked the last eight and a half years as an administrative technician maintaining and coordinating pharmacy schedules and timecards on a system level until recently when I changed roles to the Education and Research team.
