You will utilize pharmacy systems to obtain patient and drug information, process prescriptions, and ensure all data is entered correctly. This includes retrieving, counting, and pouring pharmaceutical drugs, verifying medicine accuracy, and checking for possible interactions.

Beyond the counter, you are a key part of the team's customer service efforts.
