The Pharmacy Technician: Fundamentals of Practice addresses today's comprehensive educational needs for one of the fastest growing jobs in the United States - the pharmacy technician. With many State Boards of Pharmacy either considering, or having already enacted, mandatory registration, certification and/or formal education, the need for a comprehensive and up-to-date pharmacy technician book like The Pharmacy Technician: Fundamentals of Practice has never been greater. This book covers an introduction to pharmacy practice, how to properly perform pharmacy and dosage calculations, pharmacology- including anatomy and physiology, and an overview of special considerations in pharmacy practice.
