Pharmacy Technician
A Pharmacy Technician provides technical services that do not require professional judgment regarding the preparation and distribution of drugs. Pharmacy technicians always work under the direct supervision of and are responsible to a licensed pharmacist. All work performed by a pharmacy technician must be verified for accuracy by a licensed pharmacist.
The practice of pharmacy is continually changing to meet the needs of society. As a result, the pharmacy technician’s role is also changing. Pharmacy Technicians are being relied upon more & more to perform the routine day-to-day functions which free the pharmacist to spend more time providing clinical support to the patient and other healthcare team members. Therefore, educated, highly skilled and well trained pharmacy technicians are essential to the successfully function of the pharmacy.
