What will I learn?

Community Pharmacy Assistants are important members of the intraprofessional health care team, working with Pharmacy Technicians and Pharmacists, and engaging directly with patients. Pharmacy Assistants work in community pharmacies, both chain and independent, long-term care, and specialized compounding pharmacies.
