Pharmacist managers are responsible for the proper running of a pharmacy. They oversee the proper dispensation of prescription drugs, hirie, fire, and train personnel, and schedule shifts. They also ensure smooth operations across pharmacy departments, verify that customers are prescribed the correct medicines, and make sure the pharmacy complies with federal and state regulations.
Pharmacist managers need to communicate effectively with customers relating to queries and issues, ensure staff provide high standards of customer service to customers, assist in the onboarding of new hires, and train staff in prioritizing customer orders and delivering them efficiently.
