What it's like to be a Senior Med Tech (Medication Technician)
A typical day involves scheduled medication passes at scale, with the additional responsibility of training newer techs or handling complex residents.
Collaboration involves nurses, residents, families, and pharmacy staff. What's harder than expected is the precision required at scale — more residents means more chances for error, and the procedures protect them.
Those who thrive tend to be methodical, careful, and good at supporting newer staff. If you've built medication management depth, the role often fits well.
