William Schimmel is the Executive Director and CEO of PTCB. He leads the organization to advance patient care through the credentialing of pharmacy technicians and by recognizing the essential work done by the more than 313,000 active PTCB-Certified Pharmacy Technicians (CPhTs) nationwide who support the mission every day.

Under Schimmel’s leadership, PTCB has launched more than 10 new credentials, including the Advanced Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT-Adv) which now includes more than 2,500 pharmacy technicians. He is particularly proud of the high retention rate (~80%) of PTCB CPhTs who maintain their certifications, further strengthening PTCB’s mission.
