The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board
To answer these doubts, the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board sponsored a survey to know just what do pharmacists think about pharmacy technicians that are working for them. The survey revealed that more than 80% of those surveyed pharmacists think that pharmacy technician certification is very important in “reducing medication errors, ensuring patient safety, and increasing positive health outcomes”. Those pharmacists also said that they were able to spend more time in direct patient care if they have reliable, well-trained and certified pharmacy technicians, that they are confident that the patients’ needs and requirements will be well taken care of by these pharmacy technicians.
