When peering over the counter at your local pharmacy, the various individuals in white coats may appear to be performing the same job. However, pharmacies are populated by both pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, pharmacy professionals with two distinct roles. The pharmacy is led by a pharmacist, who directs the actions of his or her technicians at all times. The pharmacist manages a number of important duties, ranging from counseling patients to compounding specific medications, which technicians are not allowed to perform.
Pharmacy technicians, on the other hand, essentially act as the pharmacist’s assistants. Responsibilities of technicians include reviewing prescriptions that have been approved by the pharmacist and providing customer service both in person and over the phone.
