What is a Pharmacy Technician?
A pharmacy technician assists in preparing and dispensing prescription medications under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist. This role should not be confused with a pharmacist; pharmacists hold advanced degrees and are licensed to counsel patients and make clinical decisions, while pharmacy technicians focus on the technical and operational side of filling prescriptions.
