Tyler has been with the pharmacy for over 15 years. He gave a brief description of the equipment and how the equipment is used for sterile and non-sterile compounding. Tyler also allowed the students to observe him preparing a non-sterile hormonal cream that had been ordered for a patient. The students agreed that the process was very interesting and exciting to watch from the very beginning to the end.

The students were also given the opportunity to observe another pharmacy compounding technician, Doug Prater. Doug was filling an order for a patient that required compounding capsules. Doug skillfully guided the students through the entire process.
