PUBLISHER’S NOTE

This
issue’s cover story, The 2025 Pharmacy Technician Workforce Report, is more than a feature article—it’s a wake-up call. It’s the most comprehensive snapshot of our profession to date, shaped by the voices of over 1,000 pharmacy technicians from across the country. And the message is clear: while pharmacy technicians are doing more than ever before, too many are still underpaid, under-recognized, and overstretched. But this report doesn’t just highlight problems…it points to solutions. From wage equity to credentialing, staffing models to benefits that actually matter, the data reveals what drives satisfaction, career growth, and long-term retention. For those of us who’ve spent years advocating for technician advancement, this survey isn’t surprising…but it is sobering. It confirms what many of us have been saying for years and what too many employers have yet to hear. That’s why I’m inviting our members to join me on May 27, 2025 for a live, exclusive webinar: The 2025 State of the Pharmacy Technician Career. We’ll go deeper into the survey’s findings, explore the trends shaping our future, and—most importantly—discuss how you can use this data to shape your own path forward. Whether you're new to the profession or decades in, this session will give you clarity, strategies, and a renewed sense of purpose. Our profession is at an inflection point. The stories and data in this issue prove that pharmacy technicians are not just essential—they’re ready to lead. I hope you’ll read this cover story and then join me as we look ahead together.
