Pharmacist-to-pharmacy technician ratio

 * ... that the pharmacist-to-pharmacy technician ratio has generally increased as pharmacy technicians have become less like retail clerks and taken on more responsibilities? Source: "Initially, technicians had a very limited function, only serving as clerks or cashiers. Many states...maintained low pharmacist-to-technician ratios...However, technicians gradually began to take on additional responsibilities, including entering and filling prescriptions, reconstituting medications, and communicating with physician’s offices and insurance companies."

 * Symbol question.svg New enough and long enough and cites sources in-line. The prose avoids close paraphrasing and appears neutral. QPQ done. I think the hook is interesting. I couldn't find the fact that the "pharmacist-to-pharmacy technician ratio has generally increased" in the cited source. Did I miss it? Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 17:55, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your review! Regarding the fact, note the past tense of "maintained" low ratios, followed by "However," implying that the ratios have increased over time. The source does not explicitly quote the hook, but the hook's fact is clearly supported by the text. I hope that explanation helps! ― Bio chemistry 🙴 ❤   04:23, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
