PHARMACY TECH II

THE CANCER CENTER

Boise, Nampa and Caldwell

Under the direct supervision of a pharmacist, assists in the provision of pharmaceutical care to various customers by verifying the medication packaging process and outcomes. Practices within the scope of state and federal regulations.

This Pharmacy Tech will enjoy the vast majority of their time completing hazardous compounding for the Cancer Institute. 

Hours: The Pharmacy Tech will work 4x10hr shifts and will rotate between Boise, Nampa, and Caldwell with more emphasis on Nampa and Boise. No nights, weekends or holidays.

Similar to when we were recruiting for G’s position, it would be ideal to find someone with hazardous compounding experience, but we can train candidates into that as long as they have some sterile compounding experience.  I’ve gotten good feedback about the folks like G who go through the technician apprenticeship program at Luke’s.  Sounds like Luke’s is giving them quality training, but then not treating new techs well enough to retain them.

Requirements:

1. Minimum of 2 years of experience as a Pharmacy Technician required.

2. Licensed as a Certified Pharmacy Tech with the Idaho State Board of Pharmacy or Oregon Board of Pharmacy based on state worked.

3. National Certification (CPhT, ExCPT or equivalent) required.

What You Will Do:

1. Knows, understands, incorporates, and demonstrates the Organization's Mission, Vision, and Values in behaviors, practices, and decisions.

2. Assists the pharmacist in preparing prescriptions, which includes various material resource management, dispensing, clerical, and billing duties.

3. Revenue management: ensures the accuracy of documenting services and supplies provided to the patients.

4. Participates in quality assurance and continuous quality improvement activities.

5. Understands the limitations to performing certain responsibilities of a registered technician in dispensing medications and remains within the scope of practice.

6. Maintains competency to work in the IV room, including performing hazardous compounding.

7. Provides some functional supervision of technicians.

8. Ensures required departmental functions are completed to provide effective and efficient service.

9. Assists the pharmacist in preparing medications, which includes various material resource management, dispensing, clerical, and billing duties.
