The Med Tech is responsible for maintaining safe and secure delivery of medications and
health related items to the residents within the community. The Med Tech assists in
developing, coordinating, and performing tasks on the service plan according to the
residents' preferences and abilities. The Med Tech serves as a supervisor and monitors the
Resident Assistants on the same shift. The Med Tech acts as the designated person in
charge in the absence of the Administrator and other Department Heads when they are the
Senior Med Tech on duty in the community. Some states require Medication Technicians
(Med Techs) to hold a CNA or related certification. In these states, Med Techs must maintain
current credentials, remain in good standing, and comply with all applicable state licensing
and regulatory requirements. Additional or expanded duties may be assigned based on
credential status.
