Pharmacy technicians assist pharmacists in preparing and distributing medications, maintaining the drug inventory, and maintaining patient records. Technician II must demonstrate competency (or have demonstrated competency in the past) in the essential technician functions which include inpatient, IV admixture, Pyxis, inventory, anesthesia trays, and bar coding. Technicians are required to rotate into all areas of pharmacy upon completion of appropriate training. Technician II may progress to a specialty area such as pricing or secretary as long as competency is maintained in three of the essential pharmacy technician functions. In addition Technician II participates in training. Pharmacy technicians work only under the supervision of a registered pharmacist. They do not perform duties that can legally be performed only by a registered pharmacist. Technicians interact with patients, family, and other health care providers as appropriate and under strict accordance with standard, written procedures and guidelines.
