Tennessee
Pharmacy Technician Training Program

A pharmacy technician is an employee who works under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist. Together they ensure the health and safety of pharmacy patients. Responsibilities include locating, dispensing, packing, and labeling medications prescribed for patients. Accuracy is critical as patients rely on the pharmacy team to give them correct medications, dosage amounts, and information about potential side effects. Additionally, technicians support the pharmacy through administrative tasks such as inventory management, insurance claim processing, and regulatory paperwork. Without pharmacy technicians, pharmacies would not operate as safely or efficiently, and ultimately patients would suffer.
