Hello everyone. The shortage of pharmacists has caused many state board of pharmacies to begin looking at adding a advanced practice pharmacy technician. Basically it is a technician that can do everything a pharmacist can but needs to have a 4 year degree and also be supervised by a pharmacist. This will help reduce cost of a pharmacist and at the same time reduce the shortage. Imagine if your technician can do a pharmacist job. I have linked a presentation below of the proposal. You can find many of these proposals online. As of now the board of pharmacy in my state is on the verge of passing this. I think I might milk pharmacy until pharmacists are phased out.
