Pharmacy Technician
About The Position
AICA Orthopedics is hiring a Pharmacy Technician / Medical Assistant for a Medication Support role at its Buckhead clinic in Atlanta, Georgia. This is an on-site, full-time position working Monday through Friday during the day, with no retail pharmacy hours. The role supports providers in a busy orthopedic and pain-management clinic by preparing in-office medications, managing refill requests, and providing medication support to patients and clinical staff. The technician works under provider supervision. Clinical decisions—including substitutions, dose changes, and interaction determinations—remain with the provider. The position offers paid training on the organization's systems and procedures and a promotion path to Medication Support Specialist II, with responsibilities such as e-prescribing support, prior authorizations, and inventory management. AICA Orthopedics describes itself as an integrated orthopedic and injury care network with 21 clinics, 3 surgery centers, and more than 400 team members. The organization has served Georgia for more than 25 years, and its patients are primarily personal-injury and auto-accident cases.
