pharmacy technicians
Drugstore support staff
Pharmacy technicians are healthcare workers who assist pharmacists in dispensing medications.
They count pills, label bottles, process prescriptions, manage inventory, and handle customer interactions—tasks that don't require a pharmacist's clinical judgment.
Most states require certification or registration.
