Pharmacy Site Manager
I handle the dispensing process for all prescriptions and manage the pharmacy also.
I verify all prescriptions that were typed in and filled by the technicians. I have to deal with multiple compliance, management, or clinical situations throughout the day. I counsel all patients who pick up new prescriptions or who have any questions. I coordinate patient care between doctors, nurses, recovery coaches, and patient assistance coordinators. I try to make many people happy and try to please a lot of conflicting interests at once.
Here's the first step for high school students
I would recommend getting a job as a pharmacy tech first to make sure pharmacy is something you’re truly interested in. A lot of people think they’ll like it but end up hating it. Enroll in a college (doesn’t matter if it’s community) and take your pre-requisites. Do the best you can in school. Volunteer and do some extracurricular activities. Doing well in school ensures you will get accepted to the pharmacy school of your choice.
