A call to action: Maximizing the pharmacy technician role through certifications
Abstract:
The continued advancement of pharmacy practice demands highly skilled and knowledgeable pharmacy technicians to enhance the services provided. As technician responsibilities continue to evolve to include more advanced roles, the need for standardized technician training and certification is essential to advance the profession of pharmacy technicians and pharmacy practice. With only 45% of states requiring technician certification, great variation exists in the education and training competencies required for technicians practicing in the health system setting. While the gap in certified pharmacy technician workforce is significant, the advancing skills demanded of our technician workforce underscore the need for national standardization of technician certification requirements in the health system setting. Pharmacists, health systems, and legislators must commit to advancing the profession of pharmacy and advocate for a uniform, certified technician workforce as a professional standard.
