Pharmacy technicians and aides
help licensed pharmacists prepare prescription
medications, provide customer service, and perform
administrative duties within a pharmacy setting.
Pharmacy technicians generally are responsible for
receiving prescription requests, counting tablets,
and labeling bottles, while pharmacy aides perform
administrative functions such as answering phones,
stocking shelves, and operating cash registers. In
organizations that do not have aides, however,
pharmacy technicians may be responsible for these
clerical duties.
