What You’ll Do

As a Retail Pharmacy Technician, your day will be a mix of technical precision, customer interaction, and teamwork. You will be the pharmacist’s right hand—pulling medications, entering data, labeling prescriptions, and making sure patients receive the right meds with the right info. Working alongside licensed pharmacists, you’ll help ensure prescriptions are filled accurately, inventory is managed effectively, and patients receive the care and information they need.

6. Communicating with providers, insurance companies, and other pharmacies


7. Maintaining compliance with regulatory standards (FDA, DEA, CMS, Maryland Board of Pharmacy)

What It’s Like Here

1. Fast-paced and collaborative: You’ll work closely with a team of pharmacists and technicians in a dynamic outpatient setting


2. Patient-centered: Every interaction matters—from answering questions to ensuring timely medication access


3. Hands-on and active: Expect to be on your feet, lifting up to 30 lbs., and moving throughout the pharmacy


4. Mission-driven: You’ll be part of a hospital system that prioritizes safety, equity, and excellence in care

What You’ll Bring

1. High school diploma or GED required


2. Pharmacy Technician Certification preferred


3. Must be registered with the Maryland Board of Pharmacy (or obtain licensure within 30 days of hire)
