At my pharmacy literally 75% of our patients need help in Spanish. And every tech has learned some Spanish, at least dates and numbers up to 100.

I came in knowing Spanish at conversational level but being in an environment where I can practice so much has really helped to elevate my Spanish level.

I've noticed though the population of middle easterners has increased a lot, especially Afghans, so lots of Dari and Pashto. I've been thinking about trying to pick up these languages as well. Anyone have experience learning these languages?

How did you become an instructor? Is a teaching degree required? What's the salary/wage range?

I'm a pharmacy tech with some coding skills and wondering how beneficial would a insurance resolution simulator be. It would be a way to learn and practice. Or maybe an ai with extensive knowledge would be better so instead of having to learn a million and 1 resolution problems you could just look it up.

​

Obviously we can't run our own pharmacy. We would have to partner with a pharmacist and with the average wage few of us would have the funds to start one solo.

I've asked chatgpt about this.

Recommendations include:

1. Insurance troubleshooting, which would include prior authorization help

2. Workflow help

3. Technician training

It says independent pharmacies have a harder time training their technicians and pharmacist may not be so good at operations

About workflow help that would be creating the sop documentation. Or even simulation software because I have some knowledge of computer programming.

There are already a lot of pharmacy tech schools that train for the certification test but there aren't any that I'm aware of that strictly focus on training for the day to day tasks of a tech, things such as insurance resolution.

Has anyone tried to start a business around these things? Any suggestions for other businesses?

En comparación a EEUU. Aquí tenemos que estudiar un grado, creo que se llama. Mucha gente estudia carreras como biología, bioquímica, o neurociencia, de vez en cuando ingeniería, la más común es ingeniería biomédica.

Tenés que hacer un examen se llama MCAT, Después tiene que hacer una aplicación y escribir un ensayo. Es muy díficil ser aceptado. Y después de todo tenés que pagar como $50,000 al año para asistir a una escuela médica por 4 años.

Después una pasantía que dura entre 3 y 7 años.

Soy extranjero y estoy pensando en estudiar farmacia allá.

He leído de UCM. Y la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.

Soy de EEUU y trabajo como técnico de farmacia. Hablé con mi pareja sobre la posibilidad de que le deporten. Ella es Nica. Me gustaría prender un negocio en Nicaragua pero solo tengo experiencia en la farmacia. Entonces estoy pensando en abrir una farmacia.

Si no puedo tienen sugerencias para otro tipo de negocio?

Consider someone without a degree or a trade or any in demand skills other than English. How would you make it work?

I'm interested in trying to save a little on my power bill. I'm thinking solar is the way to go. How much would it be to install solar panels with batteries for lights, fans, etc?

For context I work as a pharmacy tech, and have a couple web dev projects geared towards learning retail pharmacy. In the process I've learned a little about the infrastructure of the pharmacy system, ncpdp, fihr, etc.

I should also add I'm an electrical engineering student and all my web dev knowledge is self taught if it matters.

But if I were to keep going down this tunnel could there be a well paid job at the end?
