I'm in my late 30's that works in the facilities dept for a hospital trying to switch career to being a pharmacy technician for the same hospital. I'm enrolled for fall classes for pharmacy tech school. I'm trying to avoid retail as much as I can. I have a 5 year plan. Get my certificate, gain experience with pharmacy workflow for a hospital and move to their clinical informatics dept. Any advise?

Stop by the pharmacy at the hospital and make friends with the staff, get to know people on the pharmacy team if you have not already & let them know you are interested in being a part of the pharmacy team. Perhaps you can transfer into their department ? Do you know if they have positions available or upcoming positions available? Some states do technician trainees & will hire you before you get your state technician license. Ask around the hospital pharmacy! Get to know as much as you can and as many people as you can and make sure you continue to be an employee in good standing at the hospital!

Hi thanks for the reply. I reached out to their Pharmacy tech supervisor. She said that as soon as i get my licensed, i can send her an email with the application number. Unfortunately the pharmacy school that im going to (Penn foster) is not on their listed schools for internship and Pharmacy techs position in TMMC rarely opens up. Im hoping i could get in
