Video Transcript:

"A pharmacy assistant helps process prescriptions under the supervision of a pharmacist or pharmacy technician. Their duties include answering customer questions, dispensing or packaging prescriptions, printing prescription labels, maintaining stock, filling out pharmaceutical paperwork, and operating the cash register.

In certain states, pharmacy assistants cannot handle medication directly and instead help with administrative tasks.

Most assistants work in retail stores, small clinics, and even hospitals. To be successful as a pharmacy assistant, you must be responsible, empathetic, attentive to detail, computer savvy, up-to-date with laws regulating your work, and customer service oriented. You must also be able to spend a lot of time on your feet and be available to work nights or weekends to accommodate customers. To become a pharmacy assistant, you must have a high school diploma and pharmacy training.
