Decatur sits on the Tennessee River in Morgan County and serves as a regional hub for north Alabama between Birmingham and Huntsville. The local hospital pharmacy job market centers on Decatur Morgan Hospital, and because the Huntsville metro is only about 25 to 30 minutes north on I-565, many Decatur technicians choose to commute into the much larger Huntsville Hospital system after gaining some experience. ## Working as a pharmacy tech in Decatur Decatur Morgan Hospital (the main Parkway campus plus the smaller West campus) is the largest hospital pharmacy employer in Morgan County and the primary in-town option for Decatur pharmacy technicians. Athens-Limestone Hospital is also within commuting distance to the west, and the Huntsville Hospital system is a short drive north for technicians who want to move into a larger health system once they have a year or two of experience. Retail employers in Decatur include the usual mix of CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Publix, Kroger, and a steady group of local independents. ## What Alabama actually requires Under [Rule 680-X-2-.14](/alabama-rule-680-x-2-14-compliance), you register with ALBOP first, then complete approved training within six months of your registration date.
