Pharmacist’s Letter, published by Therapeutic Research Center (TRC), will host an interactive question-and-answer session, “The Evolving Role of Pharmacy Technicians: What it Means for You,” at the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) Annual Meeting and Exposition.
The interactive session will be hosted by Pharmacist’s Letter editors and editorial advisors, and will cover the changing pharmacy landscape and how to leverage the technician’s contribution to enhance pharmacist-patient interaction and improve quality of care. Editorial advisors will discuss why the role of the pharmacy tech is evolving and how it will impact pharmacy practice. They will also review the impact of the 2020 Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) requirement and how pharmacists can help guide technicians into this expanded role. The discussion is designed to be interactive, with dialogue between panelists and participants on best practices for boosting pharmacy teamwork and helping technicians take on new roles and responsibilities.
The event is open to all APhA attendees. Those wishing to attend may visit Booth #1125 on Sunday, March 29 at 11:15 a.m. at the Annual Meeting and Exposition in San Diego, Calif.
