Hiring Challenges in Pharmacies
Pharmacist Licensing Timelines
State pharmacy board licensing can take weeks to months, and candidates cannot fill prescriptions until their license is active in that jurisdiction.
Pharmacy Technician Certification
Most states require PTCB or ExCPT certification for pharmacy technicians, and maintaining certification requires ongoing continuing education.
Controlled Substance Accountability
Pharmacy staff handling Schedule II-V substances must pass background checks and follow DEA chain-of-custody protocols from their first day.
