About The Position

The Certified Pharmacy Technician works part-time at Dublin Methodist Hospital, on a variable schedule of 20 hours per week (40 hours per two-week schedule). The schedule alternates between two and three shifts per week. Day shifts are 6:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m., 7:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m., or 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.; typically, one evening shift per pay period is 12:00 p.m.–8:30 p.m. Weekend shifts occur every four to six weeks depending on staffing needs. Evening and weekend shifts qualify for a shift differential. Under the supervision of a Registered Pharmacist, the technician interprets, obtains, prepares or compounds, labels, and distributes pharmacy products for patient use, considering patient age and other relevant information. Depending on the department, the technician may prepare IV medications using specialized equipment, supplies, and techniques, and process refill requests for non-monitored medications such as enteral products and supplies or respiratory medications. The role also documents medication distribution for proper use and reimbursement and contributes to production, packaging, record keeping, and stocking. The role requires working within established policies, procedures, and standard operating methods, with moderate supervision and no supervisory responsibilities. The technician manages their own workload, recognizes and resolves typical work-area problems using established procedures, communicates technical information within the team, and contributes to the quality of individual and team work. As part of a High Reliability Organization, the technician is expected to focus on safety, quality, and efficiency. The job profile is not exhaustive and may change.
