21 Indiana Pharmacy Programs What does a pharmacist do? Pharmacists (RPh) dispense medications prescribed by physicians, dentists and other authorized medical practitioners. Pharmacists must understand the purpose, chemical make-up and effects of drugs, so they can prevent harmful interactions between the drugs their clients are taking. They counsel patients about using prescription and over-the-counter medications. Pharmacists verify the validity of prescriptions; weigh, measure and mix drugs and other medicinal compounds; keep comprehensive records of all medications dispensed according to law; properly store medications; and order and maintain a supply of drugs. Pharmaceutical care increasingly involves disease management. Pharmacists may supervise pharmacy assistants, pharmacy technicians and other employees. (Bowling Green, KY AHEC) What does a pharmacist technician do? Pharmacy technicians assist pharmacists with technical tasks, such as filling prescriptions and other dispensing duties, which allows pharmacists to spend more time counseling and educating patients.

They do clerical work such as entering prescriptions into a computer and maintain records and inventories of drugs and supplies. Pharmacy technicians stock, package and price medications, and aid in third party insurance data entry, corrections and fee collection. Some technicians pick up and deliver orders.
