About this Course
What is a pharmacy technician? A pharmacy tech locates and dispenses medication under the supervision of a pharmacist. They work in various settings, including retail stores, hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, and long-term treatment facilities. You might even find jobs as a pharmacy technician in large corporations and correction facilities.
Along with dispensing medication, pharmacy technicians do administrative tasks such as creating labels and working with insurance companies to process claims. They are often the customer-facing element of a pharmacy, helping patients or consumers pick up prescriptions and over-the-counter products. They also function behind the scenes, processing insurance claims, working with healthcare providers, and filling prescriptions.
Job Opportunities
The pharmacy industry continues to evolve, so the jobs for pharmacy technicians will likely grow over time. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates there will be an additional 26,000 jobs in this field by the year 2032.
Pharmacy technicians may also take on more responsibility in the future, which makes training critical for success. Becoming a certified pharmacy technician can make you one of the top candidates for the job of your dreams in the healthcare environment you choose.
