A pharmacy technician works in a hospital or clinic pharmacy under a licensed pharmacist. They help manage the pharmacy workstation, which involves ordering medications for the inventory and keeping the shelves clean, well-stocked and in neat order. Additionally, they fill patient prescriptions, dispense the correct medications at the proper dosages and check for any allergies and food and drug interactions. They listen to the patients’ health reports, and may suggest over-the-counter medications for some of their ailments.
