Our approach to pharmacy technician education is grounded in five core elements that guide how students learn, grow, and prepare for the profession.
Education — Building knowledge and technical skills
Application — Putting learning into practice
Exploration — Expanding exposure and professional possibilities
Integration — Connecting knowledge, skills, and real-world practice
Dedication — Developing a commitment to excellence and continued growth
Dr. Leslie Hodge is a Doctor of Pharmacy, registered pharmacist, educator, and workforce development leader with more than two decades of experience in community pharmacy and pharmacy leadership, including extensive experience in pharmacy management. Her career has included patient care, pharmacy operations, team development, and the training and mentorship of future healthcare professionals.
After years of seeing firsthand what separates someone who simply enters the pharmacy workforce from someone who is prepared to thrive in it, Dr. Hodge founded Emerge Learning Institute to create a different kind of training experience—one that connects education, hands-on application, professional development, and real-world expectations.
Her vision for ELI extends beyond helping students prepare for certification. ELI is designed to develop confident, capable healthcare professionals who understand their role, recognize their potential, and are prepared to contribute meaningfully from the classroom to the workforce.
