Can someone who has a major in Pre-Pharmacy work as a Pharmacy Technician prior to getting a Doctors Degree?

Claire asked:


I’m a junior right now, but am looking to major in Pre-Pharmacy. I intend to receive my Bachelors Degree, then after I’m ready financially - go for a Doctors Degree in Pharmacy.

Can a college graduate with a major in Pre-Pharmacy work as a licensed and registered Pharmacy Technician prior to getting a Doctors Degree? Thank you for your help!

    Yes, you can work as a pharmacy technician prior to getting your PharmD. Almost anyone can work as a pharmacy technician as long as get licensed as a pharmacy technician, which you don’t need any degree to obtain. High school students can be pharmacy technicians.

    yes or you can get an apprentice pharmacist license(while in pharmacy school). You have to pass a program to be eligible to get a pharmacy technician in many states.

    Know college algebra well, especially natural log and exponential functions prior to getting into Pharmacy school, students who don’t understand that get weeded out early.
