Overview

Standards of Practice for the Pharmacy Technician discusses standards of practice, scope of practice, and projections for the future practice of an emerging professional in the modern world of pharmacy. The reader will follow the developmental stages of the pharmacist from an unregulated dispenser of herbal remedies to an educated licensed professional, and the development of the technician from a pill counter to an educated technician with the ability to assist the pharmacist in providing pharmaceutical care to patients. The ultimate goal is to instill in the student a feeling of competence, an ability to utilize critical thinking skills for problem solving, and an innate comprehension of the concepts of professionalism and professional judgment. The text is intended for use in a formal, instructor-guided education program. The student will be best served by a curriculum that includes medical terminology, pharmacy calculations, anatomy and physiology, communication and pharmacology, studied either prior to or concurrently with the general pharmacy practice course outlined in this text. http://thepoint.lww.com/product/isbn/9780781766173
