These changes have been driven by the increase in chronic diseases and lifestyle-related illnesses. The changes in pharmacy practice have resulted in pharmacists being involved in a greater role in patient-centered health care and therefore requiring more time. In order to reduce this workload and provide pharmacists with the time they need; it is possible for pharmacists to work in coordination with pharmacy technicians. At this point, the competency of pharmacy technicians in their professions and the high quality of the education they receive play a key role in pharmacy management and pharmacy practices. In this study, the education of pharmacy technicians in other countries was evaluated. The similarity of pharmacy technician education is thought to make a significant contribution to the standardization of education. As a result of these studies, it is expected that the standardization of pharmacy technician education worldwide will contribute to the improvement of pharmacy practice and the quality of pharmacists and pharmacy health services.
