Pharmacy Technician

Research: Look for and provide the following:

Duties and Responsibilities: Pharmacy Technicians work in pharmacies under the direction of a pharmacist. Their main responsibility is filling prescriptions according to doctors’ orders for patients. Technicians measure out correct amounts of medication from larger containers to prescription size containers.

 

Salary: $15,000 - $25,000

Education: Students should take math, science (especially chemistry), and typing courses in high school. A high school diploma is usually required to begin pharmacy technicians training.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I wouldn't not like to become a Pharmacy Technician because of the fact that I wouldn't like that t be my courier where I depend on to live.
