Pharmacy Technician Career Opportunities in Home Infusion

Daniel Kyes, CPhT, CSPT, BCSCPT, FNHIA, explains how different his role as a pharmacy technician is in a home infusion pharmacy compared to retail where he started. Working in a clean room can be challenging—garbing up in personal protective equipment, following aseptic technique, and following practices to prevent microbial contamination—but knowing that he’s helping patients is rewarding to Kyes. He also appreciates the opportunities for career growth offered in home infusion. Moving up the career ladder can include responsibilities for ensuring regulatory compliance, building training programs, and conducting hands-on training of new technicians.
