Pharmacy technicians and assistants work under the supervision of the pharmacist. They help licensed pharmacists provide customer services, prepare prescription medications, and perform administrative duties within a pharmacy setting. Pharmacy technicians typically are responsible for the routine tasks associated with preparing and providing prescribed medication to patients, but their duties may also involve verbal prescriptions and doctor calls, medication and expense orders, expired credits and returns, and non-licensed pharmacy management.
