摘要:Objective: To identify the duties and/or functions of pharmacists as managerial technicians and as assistance technicians in private community pharmacies. Method: Exploratory, prospective, analytical, and descriptive research, carried out between October and December 2020, using structured interviews via Survey Monkey, applied to pharmacists working in private community pharmacies in the state of Pará. Results: This is a social representation on the perception of 59 (100.0%) pharmacists’ respondents. 32 (54.2%) were technical-assistance pharmacists and 27 (45.8%) were technical-management pharmacists. The attributions and/or functions of pharmacists were identified as managerial technicians and as assistance technicians in private community pharmacies. Conclusion: It was observed that there is no harmonization of the duties and functions of pharmacists as managerial technicians and as assistance technicians. It is inferred that there are conflicts regarding the understanding of the role of pharmacists as managerial technicians (management) and as assistance technicians (pharmaceutical care).
