• Georgia Pharmacy Practice Act O.C.G.A. 26-4-82 addresses pharmacy technicians to include pharmacist/technician ratios and responsibilities. • Currently pharmacy technicians are not required to be registered, certified, or licensed. • Pharmacy technicians may not perform duties or functions which require professional judgment by the pharmacist including but limited to: accepting initial telephoned prescription orders; providing information in any manner relative to prescriptions or prescription drugs; and counseling patients. • Pharmacy Technicians may assist the pharmacist at a ratio of three pharmacy technicians to one pharmacist so long as the pharmacy technician is certified. If the pharmacy technician is not certified the ratio will be two technicians to one pharmacist. • The only board recognized pharmacy technician certification is a certification from the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board.
