Duties & Responsibilities:
A pharmacy technician works in pharmacies under the
directions of a pharmacist. They are responsible for filling prescriptions to
patient that are ordered by doctors. They measure the correct amount of medication
from large containers to prescription size containers. Other duties they have
are checking inventories and ordering supplies, receiving and checking in
supplies, waiting on customers, keeping pharmacy work areas clean and helping
filling out insurance forms.
Salary: $15,000 - $25,000
Education:
To become a pharmacy technician while you are in high school
you should take math, science (especially chemistry), and some typing courses
in high school. A high school diploma is usually required to begin pharmacy
technician training. Two year courses
leading to certificates are available at most community collages. Six month programs are offered at privately
operated schools.
Reflection:
I don’t think I would like to become a pharmacy technician
because it doesn’t catch my attention in becoming one. I don’t really think it
is interesting becoming a pharmacy technician.
