What Qualities Should a Pharmacy Technician Have?

Of course, Pharmacy Technicians should have good customer service skills. After all, they are the ones that people often come into contact with when they fill their prescriptions. Often when people are getting prescriptions filled they may be anxious or stressed. They are getting a prescription filled for a reason and that isn't always an easy thing. Because of this, Pharmacy Techs need to be good with dealing with a wide variety of people.

Pharmacy Technicians must also have an eye for detail. While missing something small here and there may not be a big deal in some jobs, in this job it is crucial that every order is filled to the letter. The smallest mistake can have devastating results so they must pay attention.

There are advantages to both. Pharmacy Technicians can also work in hospitals. There are several choices and with a diploma as a Pharmacy Technician the choice is up to you.
