Realizing that Technicians have a large role in the pharmacy industry, their job is progressing into more the just “helpers”. Associations provided individual foundations for these paraprofessionals to excel in their profession. Pharmacy Technicians have advanced from clerks to working with the pharmacist directly.…

    interviews with Pharmacy Technicians

    My interview with Alicia went well. She studied at a junior college so she could be ready to take the Pharmacy Technician’s test to become certified. She said the test is two hours long, and consists of 90 multiple-choice questions. She suggested that on the job training is one of the best ways to learn the job and prepare for the test. I asked her what some of the tasks a Pharmacy Tech would have; she stated that Tech’s assist the Pharmacist, take temperature logs of the fridge and freezer, as well as check faxes for new prescriptions or refill authorizations. They also fill prescriptions, answer phones and call for clarifications or insurance issues. Having a people friendly attitude and being able to work well with others were some of the skills she suggested that I needed to perform the job well. Having a happy environment helps to make happy customers. She said that some related jobs to the Pharmacy Tech field would be a secretary at a doctor’s office, or a nurse because of the vast knowledge about drugs and the dispensing of them.…
