After a whirlwind few days of job training, I was thrown to the wolves as a staff pharmacist in a large chain. As I nervously opened up the pharmacy, I spotted the store manager. I introduced myself and asked, \u201cWhen do my techs get here?\u201d He laughed and replied that there were no pharmacy technicians in that store. It was apparently not busy enough to need techs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, I learned to make do on my own, but I knew something was missing. At my next pharmacy, when we had a whole \u201cfamily\u201d of licensed pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, I learned that life is completely different with techs. It was a million times better!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peanut butter and jelly, cookies and milk, salt and pepper\u2014some things are just better together. Likewise, pharmacists and techs are a winning combination. The saying about teams is true: Together, everyone achieves more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 pharmacy technician duties<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are just a few duties of a pharmacy technician that help a pharmacy run more smoothly:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Greet patients<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, a tech is the first person the patient encounters at the pharmacy. A professional, friendly tech can make the patient\u2019s experience better, and free up the pharmacist to focus on clinical issues and verifying prescriptions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Answer phones<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the phones are ringing off the hook, techs help triage the phone calls, which allows the pharmacist to verify medication orders with less interruptions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Manage drop-off<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Techs manage prescriptions as they come in (whether dropped off in person by patients or sent in electronically by healthcare providers) while taking care of rejections by fixing problems and contacting insurance companies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Handle pickup<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Techs continue providing great patient care at the pick-up window while ringing up patients at the cash register and sending them happily on their way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great team of techs can help maintain a positive and productive work environment. This keeps patients happy and keeps the team less stressed overall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/pharmacist-burnout\/\"><b>How to avoid pharmacist burnout<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I had a whole team of techs, we were a perfect assembly line. We worked as a team. We helped each other constantly. If one of us saw someone else needed help, we would quickly jump in where needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever it felt like the ship was sinking, we hustled a little quicker and caught up. I never felt alone or hopeless, like I did when I worked at a pharmacy without technicians. I knew that as a team, we would pull through and get the job done, together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can tell by now, there\u2019s more to the pharmacy technician job description than completing a pharmacy technician program or passing a pharmacy technician certification exam. Depending on the pharmacy setting you work, your job duties may include administrative tasks as well as customer service skills, communication skills, and organizational skills.
