It was wonderful, I have studied very new things. I have got to know: - what my role is - how I assist the pharmacist - how to assist customers and consumers and deal with them, whether in free time or a tough time, or whether it is busy - how to deal with frustrated patients - how to help with someone's medications and clear their doubts

I liked that the simulation gave me a better understanding of the responsibilities of a pharmacy technician. The real-life situations helped me learn how to prioritise tasks, handle customer concerns, identify insurance issues, and maintain patient safety. I also liked that it highlighted the importance of teamwork, accuracy, and communication in a pharmacy.

What I liked most about the simulation was how realistically it modeled real-world pharmacy operations. It allowed me to practice balancing fast-paced task execution with critical safety protocols—like spot-checking medication dosages, prioritizing patient communication, and identifying process improvements—giving me a clear, hands-on view of the pharmacy technician role.
