Pharmacy Technician

As the number of middle-aged and elderly people increases in the United States, so does the expected demand for skilled pharmacy technicians.(1) Pharmacy Technician diploma students have the opportunity to learn the basics of drug interactions, medical abbreviations, and dealing with patients. Training also includes a background in anatomy and physiology, and courses in first aid, career development, and computers, as well as pharmacy law and ethics.

Pharmacy Technician job duties and responsibilities. By enrolling in our Pharmacy Technician Diploma Program(4), you can develop relevant job skills and learn from industry experienced pharmacy technicians.

The program takes as few as eight months to complete, and after earning a pharmacy technician diploma, you may qualify to work as an entry-level technician in the field of pharmacy.(2)(3)

What do Pharmacy Technicians do?
Pharmacy technicians work under the supervision of licensed pharmacists in many different types of retail locations, as well as hospitals. The scope of work for pharmacy technicians is constantly increasing. They mix and measure medication, maintain patient profiles, and handle insurance claims as well as receive prescriptions and take inventory.(2)

But maybe the most important part of a pharmacy technician’s job is helping patients. As a Remington College instructor puts it in our video, pharmacy technicians have “a direct link to making someone well.”
