What is the career outlook for pharmacy technicians?
As the population ages and medication regimens become more complex, patient-centered care will play an important role in facilitating safe medication practice. Pharmacy technician positions are expected to increase by 25 percent by 2018 to meet this demand. Pharmacy technicians assist pharmacists in dispensing medications and are accountable to the supervising pharmacist who is legally responsible through state licensure for the care and safety of patients served by the pharmacy.
