What is a Pharmacy Technician ?

A Pharmacy technician is a job title for a pharmacy staff member “who works under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist, and performs many pharmacy-related functions.” In most cases, job duties include providing medication and other health care products to patients. Pharmacy technicians often do the routine tasks associated with preparing prescribed medication, and the manual labor component of providing drugs to patients. Most pharmacy technicians have only on-the-job training, but many employers favor those who have completed a formal training and certification process. Those meeting this certification given by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board earns the technician the professional title “CPhT” (Certified Pharmacy Technician) to follow their name.
