Abstract
Background/Objectives The growth of pharmacy technician scope of practice research over the past 20 years has allowed opportunities for researchers to investigate the machinations of technician scope of practice expansion. To investigate what affects pharmacy technicians’ likelihood of taking on role expansion, this study had three objectives. First, researchers aimed to investigate what additional tasks pharmacists believe technicians should have greater involvement in completing. Secondly, researchers aimed to investigate what occupational values pharmacists believe are important to technicians and determine how those perceptions might impact pharmacist messaging regarding technician role expansion. The final objective was to determine how technician occupational values and role overload impact technicians’ likelihood to take on additional roles within the pharmacy.
