Empower Your Career: Become a Pharmacy Technician at CVS Health?

Did you know that an average CVS Health? pharmacy can fulfill over 700 prescriptions in a single day? Our pharmacies play a vital role in keeping our communities healthy and ensuring patients get the medicine they need.

Behind the scenes of this essential operation are hundreds of pharmacy technicians at CVS Health. Pharmacy technicians (pharm techs) support patients and pharmacists in preparing and dispensing medications, managing inventory, and processing insurance. Teams focus on accuracy and safety to ensure patients receive their medicine as intended.

Pharm techs do much more than simply “count pills.” The role takes quick thinking, emotional intelligence, problem solving, and attention to detail. As a pharm tech, you develop deep connections with the customers who come through your doors, advocating for their health and reminding them of the importance of regularly taking their medicine.

Hear from our Technicians

Here's what some of our Pharmacy Technicians have to say about their journey with CVS Health and the growth opportunities they’re experiencing:

“I was hired as an Operations Assistant and through continuous growth and development, I can gladly say that I am now a Pharmacy Technician II and continue to develop and grow.” – Deena C., Pharmacy Technician II

?

“I thought the pharmacy was an endpoint for people who had a degree, or already worked in that field for a long time. I didn’t realize people become technicians and then they go work in a corporate role. Or, they become technicians and they go work for Specialty, or grow into a? pharmacist role and become a district leader.” – Jake M, Pharmacy Technician I
