About National Pharmacy Technician Day
A pharmacy technician is a healthcare professional who works closely with pharmacists to help dispense medication to patients. They are responsible for the day-to-day operations of a pharmacy, including stocking shelves, preparing prescriptions, and assisting customers. Pharmacy technicians also work with insurance companies to ensure that patients receive the medications they need at an affordable cost. Additionally, they may provide advice on over-the-counter medications and answer any questions customers have about their medications.
In order to become a pharmacy technician, individuals must complete a formal training program and pass an exam in order to be certified. Many states require certification in order for technicians to practice legally. Once certified, technicians must keep up with continuing education requirements in order to stay current on the latest industry practices and regulations.
Overall, pharmacy technicians are an integral part of the healthcare system as they help ensure that patients receive their medication safely and efficiently.
