Certified Pharmacy Technician

Job description

A pharmacy technician’s primary job is to receive and fill prescription requests for patients. These prescription requests can come from hospitals, physicians, nurses or directly from the patient. Their work is typically overseen by a licensed pharmacist.

The preparation of a prescription requires several tasks. The duties carried out by pharmacy technicians can include:

• Retrieving prescription orders
• Counting, pouring, measuring and weighing tablets and medications
• mixing medications
• Selecting the proper prescription container
• Creating prescription labels

After the prescription is filled, the pharmacy tech prices and files it. A licensed pharmacist then checks the completed prescription before it is given to the patient.

Other Pharmacy Tech Responsibilities

The pharmacy tech’s job also extends to the daily operation of the pharmacy itself, including interactions with hospitals and patients. Some other, non-medication-related duties include:

• Preparing insurance claim forms
• Maintaining patient profiles
• Completing cash register transactions
• Answering phones
• Taking inventory of over-the-counter medications
• Being aware of the latest medicines and their availability

Must already be nationally certified and have a Kansas technician's license in good standing.
