I am seeking a full-time position in the pharmaceutical field as a Pharmacy Technician. I enjoy working with customers/patients and helping them meet their prescription needs. My current position is a Medical Records Technician at a local hospital. I have earned both my Massachusetts State license and National license. I am proficient in the use of the personal computer and Micro Soft Word, Excel and Power Point and many other computer applications. My strengths also include an ability to communicate and work well with co-workers and individuals from all backgrounds. I believe that my experience and background would have a positive impact in meeting and satisfying your customers’/patients' needs and would contribute to your organization’s goals and success. In my sophomore year of college, I had the opportunity to work as a substitute paraprofessional at a local elementary school. I also worked part time at the local Stop and Shop through a third-party vendor training customers in the use of product scanning equipment. In my last year of college, I was hired as a teller by the Greylock Federal Credit Union as a summer intern. The temporary position ended at the end of that summer season.

Medical Records Technician

Under the supervision of the licensed Pharmacist, I would interview incoming patients to the emergency room to determine their personal information and current medications. Whenever the patient was unable to confirm their medication I would contact the patient’s physician, family member or in some cases nursing facilities to get the required information. All information was input into the hospital database and updated when required. This required understanding medication names and the proper dosage for the patient
