Pharmacy technicians play an integral role in assisting pharmacists with medication dispensing and pharmaceutical care.

Many pharmacy technicians perform duties such as the following:

Screen prescription orders for accuracy and completeness
Prepare prescriptions for pharmacist verification – retrieve, count, pour, weigh, measure, and sometimes mix the medication
Use technology to help maintain accurate patient records, prepare and package medications, and place orders
Perform calculations
Provide customer service to patients
Support health care providers and nurses in the delivery of medicines
Manage the business and/or administrative aspects of a pharmacy.
