Working as a Pharmacy Technician...
Working as a Pharmacy Technician/Assistant is an opportunity to assist a licensed pharmacist with the dispensing of prescribed medications or health related products to patients. Some of the routine or assigned duties of a pharmacy technician may include: counting tablets, weighing or pouring of medications and labeling bottles. Clerical responsibilities of the pharmacy assistant may also consist of: stocking shelves, answering telephones, handling money, establishing and maintaining patient profiles and keeping inventory records of both pharmaceutical supplies and over the counter medications.
While the responsibility of answering the patients concerns or addressing any health related issues is primarily that of the licensed pharmacist, a professional pharmacy assistant will always make sure that the information given to the patient, at the time of prescription pick up, is accurately listed on the label and that patient also receives any auxiliary information for that particular prescription.
