TIP
A Pharmacy Technician is someone who works under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist and performs many pharmacy-related functions. The skilled duties of a pharmacologist includes being able to identify common pharmacological abbreviations; recognize common drug classifications and know examples; identify controlled substances and know examples; understand relationships of metric, apothecary, and household systems of measurement; and perform algebraic equations necessary for calculating drug dosages, including working with decimals, fractions, ratios, and proportions. Education options for training to become a pharmacy technician include online programs that specialize in this field.
Great examples of online schools include: Axia College of the University of Phoenix (www.universityofphoenixinfo.com); Allied Schools of Pharmacy Technician Training (www.pharmacytrainingonline.com); Kaplan Continuing Education – Health Care Pathways (www.kaplan.university-Info.com); Salem International University Online (www.salemu.edu); and Penn Foster Career School (www.penn-foster.com). During the course of pharmacy tech school, individuals will learn to work closely with Pharmacists to administer medicine and health care supplies to all patients/consumers. The training will equip students to help the pharmacist with daily duties, check prescription and insurance information, write prescriptions for patients and accept prescriptions from hospitals and practitioners. Upon completion of the program, techs will be able to work in retail pharmacy settings, with local pharmacists in grocery stores, or hospitals. They will be an important part of a fulfilling career.
