They must balance multitasking—such as handling phone inquiries, inventory management, and assisting pharmacists—with the need to ensure patient safety through careful dispensing and labeling. Additionally, they frequently collaborate with pharmacists, healthcare providers, and patients, which requires strong communication and organizational skills. Adapting to new technology and protocols is also an ongoing part of the role.
