California Pharmacy Technician Schools
About Pharmacy Technician Careers
A pharmacy technician program trains students to perform the duties of a pharmacy tech, which include: calculations, techniques, record keeping, pharmacy law, medical, and pharmaceutical terminology. Some of these diploma, certificate, or associate training programs provide career internships to provide on-the-job experience. Students with a firm grasp of mathematics, spelling, chemistry, and health education are usually accepted to these 2-year programs.
The pharmacy technician career is an excellent choice for those seeking employment in the health industry. While working under the supervision of the pharmacist, the pharmacy technician learns about customer interaction, patient service, data entry, insurance billing, and keeping track of expired medicines. With a pharmacy technician certification, he or he can earn more over time and eventually become a licensed pharmacist. The average salary for a Californian pharmacy technician is around $37,280 annually. (Figures courtesy of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Employment & Wages database.)
