FACT SHEET
Welcome to the world of Pharmacy. You are
entering into an occupation that is prestigious and provides
many career options that could be quite rewarding and
personally satisfying. As a Pharmacy Technician you will be
working as part of the Health Care Team, assisting the
Pharmacist in providing optimal pharmaceutical care to
individuals. Over the past two decades the role of the
Pharmacist has changed considerably because of the
exponential increase in scientific knowledge and consequent
available technology, and available pharmaceuticals. Also,
there is greater understanding, diagnosis, management and
prevention of human disease. As a result, the percentage of
Americans particularly older Americans, being treated with
the wide array of sophisticated pharmaceuticals has
increased and the need for pharmaceutical expertise and
Pharmacist intervention.
The
entry-level training for the Pharmacist has changed
from a five year Bachelors Degree to a six year
Doctor of Pharmacy or Pharm D, fueling a
nationwide shortage of Pharmacists. The Doctor of Pharmacy
is a well-trained clinician who can apply his or her
expertise to deliver good patient care. As the drug expert
of the health care team, other health professionals consult
with the Pharmacist for drug treatment and management
recommendations and drug availability information. The
Pharmacist also provides counseling to patients on the safe
and proper use of medicines, develops pharmacist care plans
and monitors patient pharmaceutical treatments. These
clinical demands on the Pharmacist have created an increased
need for assistance in the Pharmacy. This assistance is
provided by a Pharmacy
Technician.
