I work as a Pharmacy technician at a local, non-chain pharmacy. I mentioned to one of the other techs that I happen to be color blind in a certain spectrum of colors. SHe immediately told me that I could not be a pharmacist because of this. She said that it would be unsafe, and that i would not accurately be able to verify the color of the talbets/capsules, etc.
Does anyone know if there is a law or professional requirement saying that you must not be color-blind? Will this keep me from being a pharmacist? Do they test for color blindness in pharmacy school or before you get your license?
