Patient demand for convenient, cost-effective healthcare continues to increase. Large health systems and pharmacy organizations are increasingly looking for new ways to meet these needs, which has led to a rise in convenient care clinics and the popularity of telemedicine. Among this growing body of innovative healthcare delivery methods is the increased use of pharmacists in clinical, direct patient care roles in both inpatient and community pharmacy settings. This shift in the role of pharmacists has support from both governmental organizations and patients.1-6 - May 6, 2020 | - National Healthcareer Association - [Pharmacy Technicians](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/pharmacy-technicians) - [Vantage Point](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/vantage-point) - [access 2020](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/access-2020) # [A Pharm Tech Journey: Finding Success in Many Pharmacy Settings and Roles](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/a-pharm-tech-journey-finding-success-in-many-pharmacy-settings-and-roles) Aimee Capps’ journey as a pharmacy technician has given her career opportunities she didn’t realize were possible. When Capps was first approached about a part-time opening as a pharmacy technician with her employer, a retail pharmacy, she was a full-time bookkeeper and spent her days in a back office. With a little encouragement, she applied and started working in the pharmacy a couple of days each week, still bookkeeping on weekends. It didn’t take long before Capps says she was “hooked.” She loved helping people and seeing how much of a difference medication could make. - May 6, 2020 | - National Healthcareer Association [Previous](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/pharmacy-technicians/page/1) [All posts](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/all) ![email](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/3842749/hubfs/email.png?width=100&height=104&name=email.png "email") ### SUBSCRIBE TO OUR BLOG [![215-NHA-HS-Q126-industry-outlook-landing-page-cta](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1430252/interactive-162299408719.png)](https://info.nhanow.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLf8BV4r7%2BJ98F88MpwXHuobP2PI4ADHIIsIPEVj75TxLh73Z2BrAwgR24gITt1iZIGueJ%2Bu0glafgpYT2VRqO1klzR4gPlxT2iI08NNUfkDkemxdREjnXjdKr4zgja4gHncB%2B3ZkyVhWEN5bhULJDt2pR7lziA%2BeUlkay6HV3GMbM%3D&webInteractiveContentId=162299408719&portalId=1430252) ## Most Popular - Aug 25, 2026, 3:20:50 PM | - National Healthcareer Association ### [Teaching Students to Think, Not Just Prompt: AI Best Practices for Allied Health Educators](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/teaching-students-to-think-not-just-prompt-ai-best-practices-for-allied-health-educators) - Jul 27, 2026, 1:18:08 PM | - John Wolfe ### [How Allied Health Roles are Evolving to Meet Healthcare Demand](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/how-allied-health-roles-responsibilities-are-evolving-to-meet-healthcare-demand) - Jun 22, 2026, 3:07:58 PM | - John Wolfe ### [From Classroom to Clinic: How NHA SkillsBuilder Learning Resources Close the Gap and Keep Students Coming Back](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/from-classroom-to-clinic-how-nha-skillsbuilder-learning-resources-close-the-gap-and-keep-students-coming-back) ![email](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/3842749/hubfs/email.png?width=100&height=104&name=email.png "email") ### SUBSCRIBE TO OUR BLOG ## Recommended for you [![nha-logo-abbreviated](https://info.nhanow.com/hs-fs/hubfs/brand-resources/logos/nha-logo-abbreviated.png?width=350&name=nha-logo-abbreviated.png "nha-logo-abbreviated")](https://nhanow.com) - [For Secondary Educators](https://www.nhanow.com/secondary-educators) - [For Post-Secondary Educators](https://www.nhanow.com/postsecondary-educators) - [For Employers](https://www.nhanow.com/employers) - [Industry Advocacy](https://www.nhanow.com/about-nha/industry-advocacy) - [About NHA](https://www.nhanow.com/about-nha) - [News Center](https://info.nhanow.com/mediacenter) - [Learning + Leading Blog](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog) - [Help Center](https://www.nhanow.com/resources/support/help-center) - [NHA FAQ’s](https://info.nhanow.com/faqs) - [Privacy Policy](https://auth.nhanow.com/policy.html) - [Terms of Use](https://www.nhanow.com/terms-of-use) - [Notice to California Residents](https://auth.nhanow.com/policy.html#privacy_information_ca) Copyright© 2024 National Healthcareer Association.
