If you
enjoy working with people, are attentive to detail and well-organized, becoming a pharmacy
technician could be the career for you!
The need for prescription medications is growing each year and so is the demand for pharmacy
technicians. Working under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist, technicians perform
duties such as assisting patients, filling prescriptions, maintaining inventory, and keeping
pharmacy records.
Excellent customer service skills, computer skills, a basic understanding of the human body,
and the physical stamina to stand on your feet for a shift are important. Technicians and aides
work in many different settings, including retail/community pharmacies, in-patient and
out-patient hospital pharmacies, long-term care facilities and home care services. Work
schedules vary including part-time, evenings and weekends.
